Maryjane Bartlett · Answer 1

The manufacturer sells 506,970 units or air-conditioning. The number of units to be replaced is 20% of that. So,

506970 (0.20) = 101394 units are to be replaced

Since full-replacement extended warrant costs $113 per unit, we have:

101394 ($113) = $11,457,522

The answer is

b. $11,457,522
