An entity sells goods with a warranty covering customers for the cost of repairs of any defects that are discovered within the first two months after purchase. Past experience suggests that 80% of the goods sold will have no defects, 15% will have minor defects and 5% will have major defects. If minor defects were detected in all products sold the cost of repairs would be €30,000; if major defects were detected in all products sold, the cost would be €150,000. What amount of provision should be made?
