Solutions

Expert Solution

CALCULATION OF THE ESTIMATED LIABILITY OF COUPONS AT THE DECEMBER 31,2018
Coupons Distributed =                 25,00,000
Estimated coupons redemmed = 70% =                 17,50,000
Less: Coupons Redeemed                   5,65,000
Balance estimated coupon do be redeemed =                 11,85,000
Against five coupon we receive $ 3.25
So against 11,85,000 coupons = (11,85,000 /5 ) X $ 3.25 = $               7,70,250
Answer = Esimated liability = $ 770,250
