Answer:

$54,400

Explanation:

The balance in the refund liability account would be calculated as;

Ending balance of sales return allowance = Opening balance of allowance + Expected sales return - Actual sales return

Given that;

Opening balance = $33,400

Expected return = $740,000 × 7% = $51,800

Actual return = $30,800

Therefore,

Ending balance of sales returns = $33,400 +$51,800 - $30,800 = $54,400

The balance in the refund liability account at the end of 2021 is $54,400
