Question

During September, Excom sold 100 radios for $50 each. Each radio cost Excom $30 to purchase, and carried a two-year warranty. If 5% typically need to be replaced over the warranty period and one is actually replaced during September, for what amount in September would Excom debit Product Warranty Expense?

Answer 1

Answer:

$150

Explanation:

The Warranty Expense account is a liability account and it must include all the estimate costs associated to the merchandise sold:

100 radios were sold and the company estimates to replace 5% or them = 100 x 5% = 5

the cost of replacing 5 radios = 5 radios x $30 per radio = $150
