I sell products online and sell warranties too. I want to set up a reserve account on my balance sheet for a reserve fund in case I have to service these warranties in the future. Is the account a balance sheet asset or liability?
Also, can someone tell me the journal entry method to move a portion of the revenue I make from selling a warranty to that account. For example, lets say I sell a warranty for $50, and I want to set aside $10 in a reserve account.
Would it be debit to Revenue on the P&L and credit Warranty Reserve as a balance sheet asset?
