Answer 1

Answer:

Liability for product warranty at month end is $4810

so correct option is E) None of these

Explanation:

given data

time = 45 days

defective =  8​%

average repair cost = $65 per unit

total sales =  1,000 ​units

repaired = 6 unit defective

to find out

liability for product warranties at​ month end

solution

we know that First Month Sales units = 1,000

and First month estimated liability in units @8 % is = 80

and here Defective Units already repaired is 6

Additional liability in unit is = 80 - 6 = 74

and Additional liability @$65 per unit will be = 74 × 65 = 4810

So Liability for product warranty at month end is $4810

so correct option is E) None of these
