Answer:

B. 22.8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Net sales = $1,900 million

Warranty liability incurred during the year = Net sales × Return percentage

= $1,900 million × 4%

Warranty liability incurred during the year = $76 million

Scooters repair or replacement during the year = Warranty liability incurred × Repair and replacement percentage

= $76 million × 30%

Scooters repair or replacement during the year = $22.8 million

Therefore, EZ Wheels pay $22.8 million during the year to repair and or replace scooters under warranty. That is, the correct option is B. 22.8 million.
