Question

A company has a selling price of $1,650 each for its printers. Each printer has a 2 year warranty that covers replacement of defective parts. It is estimated that 3% of all printers sold will be returned under the warranty at an average cost of $147 each. During November, the company sold 27,000 printers, and 370 printers were serviced under the warranty at a total cost of $52,000. The balance in the Estimated Warranty Liability account at November 1 was $27,500. What is the company's warranty expense for the month of November?

Answer 1

$119,070

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of warranty expense for the month of November is shown below:-

Warranty expense for the month of November = Sold printers × Warranty percentage × Average cost

= 27,000 × 3% × $147

= $119,070

Therefore for computing the warranty expense for the month of November we simply applied the above formula.
