Answer: $651,000

Explanation:

From the above question, Apple's iPod carries a two-year warranty against manufacturer's defects.

warranty costs are expected to be approximately 3% of sales.

Total sales are $30.7 million, and actual warranty expenditures are $270,000.

Total warranty cost = $30.7 million x 3% = $921,000

During the 1st year only $270,000 of warranty expenses was made.

Therefore the company will carry as liability at the end of the year a total of $921,000 - $270,000 = $651,000
