Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. For Warranty Expense
= Sales × Estimated Warranty Percentage%
= $4,144,400 × 0.87%%
= $36,056.28
b)
The amount that should be reported is
Opening Balance of Estimated Warranty Liability Jan. 1, 2019 $42,635
Less: Actual warranty costs in 2019 ($26,750)
Add: Warranty expense accrued in 2019 $35,056
Closing Balance of Estimated Warranty Liability Dec. 31, 2019 $50,941

Explanation:
We list them and subtract budget - actual
When actual is greater than budget the variance is negatine.
While budget being lower than actual is considered a positive variance.
Answer:
E.pay the holder the LIBOR interest above 6%.
Explanation:
On the off chance that the firm is selling the asset(floor) at 6%, it implies that the benefit is in contract and thus when selling the floor the holder of the floor should make installment to the mortgagee at LIBOR+6%, after which the deal will be concluded.
Therefore, the answer will be pay the holder LIBOR interest above 6%
Answer:
Option B (By embracing lower operating costs it's much more likely to handle price rises) is the correct choice.
Explanation:
- Cost management or leadership seems to be an organizational practice introduced by Michael Porter. This helps build organizational competitive benefits. Price leadership relates to supplying the market with the cheapest operating costs, which varies from the pricing strategy.
- Sometimes it is driven by performance, size, complexity, reach, infrastructure as well as the perspective of the organization.
Some other options given should not be concerning the condition in question. And the correct response would be alternative B.
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) X=4.975 percent
Explanation:
(a) Find the z-value that corresponds to 5.40 percent
.
Hence the net interest margin of 5.40 percent is 2.5 standard deviation above the mean.
The area to the left of 2.5 from the standard normal distribution table is 0.9938.The probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin that exceeds 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062
(b) The z-value that corresponds to 4.40 percent is 
The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is 0.5 standard deviation above the mean.
Using the normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915
Therefore the probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin less than 4.40 percent is 0.6915
(c) The z-value that corresponds to 95% which is 1.65
We substitute the 1.65 into the formula and solve for X.
A bank that wants its net interest margin to be less than the net interest margins of 95 percent of all U.S. banks should set its net interest margin to 4.975 percent.
