Question 104 • ****Spring 2026 Financial Math - MA2007 MQS21QXV

An electric guitar costs $830, with a $225 full-replacement warranty. If the manufacturer sells 532,475 warranties and has to honor 12% of them, how much profit did the manufacturer gain from the warranties?

Answer
A
$105,430,050
B
$66,772,365
C
$53,034,510
D
$508,726,615

Explanation

The manufacturer earns $225 for each of 532,475 warranties, for total revenue of $119,806,875. It must replace 12% of the guitars: 0.12 × 532,475 = 63,897 guitars, costing 63,897 × $830 = $53,034,510. Subtracting replacement costs from revenue gives a profit of $66,772,365, choice B.
