    DR Warranty Payable $1.9m; CR Cash $1.9m.

    Explanation:

    When a company creates a payable it is obligated to pay a certain amount within a particular period.

    In this case Google provides a 1 year warranty on its cell phones, so any claims that will attract repair or replacement is a payable obligation.

    In the year 2019 they actually paid $1.9 million for repairs and replacements.

    So the journal entry to be passed is DR Warranty Payable $1.9m; CR Cash $1.9m.
