Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

Warranty liability is a liability account used to report the expected amount of repairing or replacing products already shipped. It's a contingency liability and it should be recorded independently  from the actual warranty costs. Therefore, warranty liability, in this case, is:

$600,000 * 0.05 = $30,000

The estimated warranty liability reported in the balance sheet this year is $30,000
