Mathew Fleming · Answer 1

the entry is a provision in expenses: 96,000 debit (expenses provisions), 96,000 credit (liabilities accruals)

Explanation:

The total UPC codes that Wynn Company expects to redeem is 360,000. If 120,000 were redeemed, that 240,000 are pending to redeem. In terms of blocks, it means 80,000 pending to purchase and send to customers (240,000/3=80,000). The total net cost for those blocks is $96,000, as follows: total cost = 1.1+0.6-0.5=1.2 and then multiply for the number of blocks: 80,000*1.2 = $96,000. Finally, the entry is a provision in expenses: 96,000 debit (expenses provisions), 96,000 credit (liabilities accruals)
