Packard co was organized to sell a single product that carries a 45 day warranty against defects. Engineering estimates indicate that 3% of the units sold will prove defective and require an average repair cost of $55 per unit. during Packard's first month of operation total sales were 800 units by the end of the month ten defective units had been repaired. The ability for product warranties at month end should be
A. $550
B. $1,320
C. $ 1,870
D. $770
Ans 1.
Beginning inventory= $130000
Net Purchases= $220000
Net Sales=$470000
Gross Profit= 30% of Net sales= $470000*30%= $141000
Therefore, Calculation of Closing inventory;
Formula:
Opening stock+Purchases+Gross Profit- Sales= Closing Stock
so, 130000+220000+141000-470000= Closing stock
or, Closing stock= $21000
Therefore, ending inventory is option A i.e $21000
Ans.2.
An understatement of Closing inventory by $2 million in one period will result in Overstatement of Opening Inventory by $2 million in the next period.
Reason:
Since, if the closing inventory will overstate in one period in that case the profit of that period will rise. Further, the closing inventory will be transferred to the next period as Opening inventory as $2 million.
Ans. 3.
Packard co provides 45 day warranty against defects.
The engineer estimates 3% of the units sold as defective.
During the month, 800 units were sold .
So, expected defects= 800*3%= 24 units
10 units were already repaired.
Therefore, remaining units to be repaired= (24-10)= 14 units.
Therefore,ability for product warranties= 14 units *55= $770.
The answer is Option D i.e $770.
