Explanation:

Option B is correct ($3,250)

In order to find Blast debit Product Warranty Expense we will proceed as follow:

Formula we are going to use is:

Product Warranty Expense = Cost of repair defects under the warranty * Total sales

Total Sales = Price of 1 portable CD players * Total portable CD players Sold

Total Sales=$50 * 650

Total Sales=$32,500

Product Warranty Expense = 10% * $32,500

Product Warranty Expense = $3,250
