Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash or Bank A/c                              Dr $126,400

Warranty Expense A/c                      Dr $3,400

       To    Warranty Liability A/c                              $3,400

       To    Equipment A/c                                         $126,400

For recording this we debited the cash and warranty expense as it increased the assets and the expenses account and credited the warranty liability and equipment because it reduced the assets and increased the liabilities
