EZ Wheels Corporation manufactures kick scooters. The company offers a one-year warranty on all scooters. During 2017, the company recorded net sales of $5,300 million. Historically, about 3% of all sales are returned under warranty and the cost of repairing and or replacing goods under warranty is about 20% of retail value. Assume that at the start of the year EZ Wheels' balance sheet included an accrued warranty liability of $16.3 million and at the end of the year, the accrued warranty liability balance was $12.4 million. What was EZ Wheels Corporation's warranty expense for 2017

Warranty expense for 2017 = Net sale for 2017 * Percentage sales returned under warranty * Percentage of retail value for cost of repairing and or replacing goods under warranty ................. (1)

Where:

Net sale for 2017 = $5,300 million

Percentage sales returned under warranty = 3%

Percentage of retail value for cost of repairing and or replacing goods under warranty = 20%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Warranty expense for 2017 = $5,300 million * 3% * 20% = $31.80 million

Therefore, EZ Wheels Corporation's warranty expense for 2017 is $31.80 million.
