Flavor Food Company distributes to consumers coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers for discounts on certain products of Flavor. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Flavor. In Flavor's experience, 50% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Flavor receives it. During 2018 Flavor issued two separate series of coupons as follows: Issued On Total Value Consumer Expiration Date Amount Disbursed as of 12/31/18 1/1/18 $500,000 6/30/18 $236,000 7/1/18 840,000 12/31/18 350,000 The only journal entry recorded to date is: debit to coupon expense and credit to cash of $815,000.

Answer:

$70,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the unredeemed coupons is shown below:

= Coupon value on  7/1/18 - 50% of  Coupon value on  7/1/18 - Coupon value on 12/31/18

= $840,000 - 50% × $840,000 - $350,000

= $840,000 - $420,000 - $350,000

= $70,000

Only these dates should be considered in the computation part. The other dates which are mentioned in the question are not relevant hence, ignored it
