In the year of​ sale, warranty contracts are honored on 100 units for a total cost of​ $5,000. What amount will be reported as Estimated Warranty Liability at the end of the​ year?

Answer 1

Estimated warranty liability at the end of the year is $17,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of units sold 11,000

Ist year operation $500 each

Rate of defective 4%

Repair cost $50 per unit

Units Honored 100

Total cost is therefore $5,000

The formula for estimated warranty is given as ;

Amount of estimated warranty=[(units sold x defective rate) - honored units] x repair cost

=[(11,000 x 4%) - 100] x 50

=[(11,000 x 0.04) - 100] x 50

=[440-100] x 50

=$17,000
