Holly Turner · Answer 1

Butcher's warranty expense for Year 4 is $10,000

Explanation:

Since in the question, it is given that 5% of the toys are returned, and the warranty expenses should be charged on the replacement service or repair service. Even, the question has said the same.

So, the warranty expense computation is shown below:

= Sale units of toys * selling price per toy * returned percentage

= 10,000 toys * $20 * 5%

= $10,000

The warranty obligation part is irrelevant. Thus, we don't consider in the computation part. Therefore, it is ignored.

Hence, Butcher's warranty expense for Year 4 is $10,000
