    d.$1,371,000

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Warranty liability at the beginning of year = $359,000

    Warranty liability at the end of year = $308,000

    Warranty expense = $44 million

    Sales percentage = 3%

    So, the warranty expense = $44,000,000 * 3% = $13,20,000

    So, the warranty expenditures for 2018 is

    = Beginning warranty liability + warranty expense - ending warranty liability

    = $359,000 + $13,20,000 - $308,000

    = $1,371,000
