Answer :

Answer:Liability for Un-redeemed Certificate = $1,817,020

Explanation:

Total estimated value of redeemed rebates = Goods sold × Cash rebate × Certificate rebated

Total estimated value of redeemed rebates = $1,160,000 × $4.70 × 76%

Total estimated value of redeemed rebates = $4,143,520

Less: Value of Certificate Processed during the Year = Certificate processed × Cash rebated

Value of Certificate Processed during the Year = 495,000 × $4.70

Value of Certificate Processed during the Year = $2,326,500

Liability for Un-redeemed Certificate = Total estimated value of redeemed rebates - Value of Certificate Processed during the Year

Liability for Un-redeemed Certificate = $4,143,520 - $2,326,500

Liability for Un-redeemed Certificate = $1,817,020
