Answer: 7,000 ⇒ would be the Warranty Liability at the end of the year
Explanation:
percent of strikers' goals faulty = 2%
Goals sold = 4000 goals
Goals repaired = 45 goals
Estimated cost for repairing a goal = $200
Thus,
Number of goals to be repaired = 2% of goals are faulty
= [tex]\frac{2}{100} \times 4000[/tex]
= 80 goals
∴ Estimated warranty liability = Number of goals to be repaired \times Estimated cost for repairing a goal
= 80 \times 200
= 16,000
Warranty already spent = goals that are already repaired \times Estimated cost for repairing a goal
= 45 \times 200
= 9,000
Hence,
Warranty Liability = Estimated warranty liability - Warranty already spent
= 16000 - 9000
= 7,000 ⇒ would be the Warranty Liability at the end of the year.
