Answer:

$4,125

Explanation:

Calculation of the amount of warranty liability which should be reported at December 31, 2021

First step

Sales(Cellphone) × Percentage of sold phone ×Average repair cost

($690 x 10%) =$69

$69×$75

=$5,175

Second step

= $5,175 - (14 x $75) = $3,375

=$5,175-$1,050

=$4,125

Therefore the amount of warranty liability which should be reported at December 31, 2021 is $4,125
