Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a).

Journal Entry

On 2017  

Accounts receivable A/c($1,500 × $1,200)    Dr. $1,800,000

To sales A/c           $1,800,000

(Being sale of computers is recorded)  

For recording this we debited the account receivable as it increased the assets and at the same time it also increased the revenue so the sales is credited

On 2017  

Warranty expense A/c {($60+$40) × $1,200}    Dr.  $120,000

To warrant liability A/c      $120,000

(Being the warranty expense is recorded)  

For recording this we debited the warranty expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it also increase the liability so the warranty liability is credited

On 2018  

Warranty liability A/c             Dr.  $40,000

       To Cash A/c        $24,000

To Inventory A/c      $16,000

(Being the warranty liability is recorded)  

For recording this we debited the warranty liability as it reduced the liability and credited the cash and inventory as it reduced the assets

b). Balance under current liabilities in 2017 balance sheet is

= $120,000 × 1 ÷ 2

= $60,000  

As it is for two years so we take for one year only

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.
