A vacuum cleaner costs $68, and the full-replacement extended warranty costs $22. If the manufacturer sells 360,920 vacuum cleaners under warranty and must replace 15% of them to honor the warranties, how much will the replacement costs be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3,681,384.

Step-by-step explanation:

A vacuum cleaner costs = $68

and replacement extended warranty costs = $22

Total sale of vacuum cleaners under warranty = 360,920

Vacuum cleaners must replace = 15%

First we calculate the number of vacuum cleaners that need to be replace

15% × 360,920

= 0.15 × 360,920

= 54,138

Since these vacuum cleaners need to be replaced free of cost to the consumers, the cost to the company will be selling price of the units.

Therefore, cost of replacement = 54,138 × 68 = $3,681,384

The cost of replacement would be $3,681,384.
