    1) 390 warranty expense

    2) 390 warranty liability

    3) zero as the amount is deducted from the liability

    Explanation:

    the warranty expense was determinated using an allowance of 3% of the sale:

    $ 13,000 x 3% = $ 390

    the warranty liability will be created for the same amount

    On 2018 it will decrease the liability against inventory It will not recognize a warranty expense.
