What amount should Gum report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is as follows:

= Total sales × total percentage - total actual warranty expenditure

= $500,000 × 6% - $9,750

= $30,000 - $9,750

= $20,250

Hence, the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
