Question

At the beginning of 2021, Angel Corporation began offering a two-year warranty on its products. The warranty program was expected to cost Angel 4% of net sales. Net sales made under warranty in 2021 were $180 million. Fifteen percent of the units sold were returned in 2021 and repaired or replaced at a cost of $5.3 million. The amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2021 income statement is:

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.2 million

Explanation:

Given that

Net sales = $180 million

Cost of the warranty program  = 4%

The computation of the amount of warranty expense is given below:-

Amount of warranty expense = Net sales × Cost of the warranty program

= $180 million × 4%

= $7.2 million

Repairs cost less than the expected liability during the year and no extra expenditures are reported.
