Vacation benefits expense

= number of employees × number(s) of day × the average daily wage per employee

Given,

number of employees = 35

number(s) of day = 1

The average daily wage per employee = $160

= 35 employees × 1 day × $160

= $5,600

Warranty expense

= number of units of products sold × percentage of the units for warranty × the average repair cost per unit

Given,

number of units of products sold = 4500 units

percentage of the units for warranty = 7%

The average repair cost per unit = $10

= 4,500 units × 7% × $10

= $3,150
