    Profit on the forfeited deposit = $14,400

    Explanation:

    $400,000 is the amount as deposit on returnable containers

    12% were not returned

    Therefore part of the deposit that was forfeited = 400,000 * 0.12 = $48,000

    On the forfeited deposit cost marked up (gained) is 30%

    Therefore

    Profit on the forfeited deposit = 48,000 * 0.30 = $14,400
