Answer:
A. $5,460
Explanation:
Expected rate of defects = 7%
Average repair cost = $70
Total sales = 1,200 units
Actual defective units = 6
Liability for product warranties (L) at month-end should be the difference between the expected warranty costs (EW) and the actual warranty (AW) costs:
[tex]EW = 0.07*1,200*\$70 = \$5880\\AW = 6*\$70 =\$420\\L = \$5880 - \$420\\L= \$5460[/tex]
Liability for product warranties at month-end should be $5,460.
