    C) 38,000

    Explanation:

    The estimated warranty liability for 2017:

    = [2016 sales x (first + second year warranty costs) ] + [2017 sales x (first + second year warranty costs) ] - (warranty expenses for 2016 and 2017)

    = [$600,000 x (2% + 5%) ] + [$800,000 x (2% + 5%) ] - ($20,000 + $40,000)

    = $42,000 + $56,000 - $60,000 = $38,000
