Answer 1

amount of Estimated Warranty is $6400

Step-by-step 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
