Answer:

Warranty Expense (Debit) $3,960

Warranty Liability (Credit) $3,960

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle we apply while making entries for standard warranty is this:

The estimated amount of warranty expense, which a company founds as a percentage of its sales from historical claims and data, is taken as benchmark to accrue the warranty expense in the period when the sale is made (matching principle) .

In our question, 4.5% is the estimated warranty expense.

The company then sets off the estimated warranty expense (Debit)

(4.5% * $88,000 = $3,960)

with the warranty liability (Credit) to entertain any claims in future.
