Question

A company has a selling price of $1,800 each for its printers. Each printer has a 2 year warranty that covers replacement of defective parts. It is estimated that 2% of all printers sold will be returned under the warranty at an average cost of $150 each. During November, the company sold 30,000 printers, and 400 printers were serviced under the warranty. What is the company's warranty expense for the month of November

Answer 1

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Selling price = $1,800

Estimated percentage = 2%

Average cost = $150

Number of printers sold = 30,000

Under the warranty, the printer under service = 400

So by considering the above information, the warranty expense is

= Number of printers sold × estimated percentage × average cost per printer

= 30,000 × 2% × $150

= $90,000
