Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "Operating expense of $800,000 and liability of $800,000".

Explanation:

It's obvious from its government that the company must recall any paint cans which have proved health hazardous. Its organization must remember its $800,000 in canned cans. The cost of recall would also be referred to as administration fees since these costs aren't linked to its production of the paints. All operations of the company were performed. It must be held responsible for the calculation of the recalling costs.
