    Answer: $117,600

    Explanation: From the above question, In 2021, the company sold 1,344,000 boxes of Frosted Flakes.

    1,344,000 / 3 = 448,000 pottery cereal bowl is expected to be redeemed in the year.

    customers redeemed 630,000 boxtops receiving 210,000 bowls.

    estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed = 1,344,000 * 60% = 806,400 and 630,000 was redeemed = 806,400 - 630,000 = 176,400 unredeemed at the end of the year.

    Outstanding liability for 2021 = 176,400/3 = 58,800 x ($3 - $1)

    = 58,800 x $2 = $117,600

    Note that customers get a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 3 boxtops from Sheridan Frosted Flakes boxes and $1 and the bowl costs $3. To the actual cost estimate of the bowl is $3 - $1 = $2
