Answer:

$236,250

Explanation:

Given

Expected warranty costs = 1% of sales

Actual Sales = $27 million

actual warranty expenditures = $33,750

To determine liability amount (if any)

First calculate the warrant expense

Warrant expense = 1% of $27000000

= $270,000

Liability cost = expense - expenditure

= $270,000 - $33,750

= $236,250
