Moe ’s Electric sales vacuum cleaners with a one-year warranty to fix any defects. For the current year, 200 vacuums have been sold. By the end of the year 12 ovens have been repaired for an average cost of $45 dollars. Management estimates that 8 more vacuums of the 200 sold will need to be repaired next year at the same amount. How much should Paul’s Electric report warranty expense for the current year?

$900

Explanation:

Given that

Total repair up to end of year = 12

Estimated need to be repaid = 8

Average cost = $45

The computation of warranty expense for the current year is shown below:-

For computing the warranty expense for the current year first we need to find out the total repaired cost which is here below

Total repaired cost = Total repair up to end of year + Estimated need to be repaid

= 12 + 8

= 20

Warranty expense for the current year = Average cost × Total

= $45 × 20

= $900

Therefore for computing the warranty expense for the current year we simply applied the above formula.
