What is the Unearned Warranty Revenue balance at 12/31/25

the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is $990,000

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is as follows:

= Opening balance - amortization for the year 2024  - amortization for the year 2025

= (20,000 × $99) - ((20,000 × $99) ÷ 4 years) - ((20,000 × $99) ÷ 4 years)

= $1,980,000 - $495,000 - $495,000

= $990,000

hence, the balance of unearned revenue as on Dec 31 25 is $990,000
