Micheal Alexander · Answer 1

amount of Estimated Warranty is $6400

Explanation:

Given data

sells = 8,000 units

1st year = $400

defective rate = 3 %

repair costs = $40

honored = 80 units

total cost = $ 3200

to find out

amount will be reported as Estimated Warranty

solution

we will calculate here amount of Estimated Warranty that by formula given below

amount of Estimated Warranty = [ (units sold * Defective rate) - honored ] * repair cost

amount of Estimated Warranty = [ (8,000 * 3%) - 80 ] * 40

amount of Estimated Warranty = (240 - 80) * 40

amount of Estimated Warranty = 160 * 40

amount of Estimated Warranty = $6400
