Problem 1
To stimulate the sales of its Alladin breakfast cereal, Bridgeport Company places 1 coupon in each box. 5 coupons are redeemable for a premium consisting of a children's hand puppet. In 2018, the company purchases 47,900 puppets at $1.55 each and sells 473,000 boxes of Alladin at $3.80 a box. From its experience with other similar premium offers, the company estimates that 40% of the coupons issued will be mailed back for redemption. During 2018, 127,500 coupons are presented for redemption.
Prepare the journal entries that should be recorded in 2018 relative to the premium plan. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,525.)
