Marin Golf Stores, Inc. operates a chain of golf equipment stores in the Western United States. In 2017 the company ran a promotion, providing customers with coupon each time a customer bought a dozen of a specific brand of golf balls. After accumulating five coupons, a customer could present the coupons to the store in exchange for a free golf hat. In 2017, Marin purchased 1,300 of the hats for the promotion at $9 each and sold 10,500 dozen golf balls eligible for the promotion at $50 per dozen. Customers presented 2,000 of the coupons for redemption in 2017. Customers have until June 30, 2018 to present coupons in exchange for a free hat. Estimates indicate that a total of 50% of the coupons will eventually be presented for redemption. Prepare all the entries that would be made relative to sales of the golf balls included in the promotion and to the golf hat premium plan in 2017

Answer:

To record premium inventory:

Dr. Inventory of Premiums    $11,700

        Cr. Cash                                       $11,700

To record sales:

Dr. Cash                             $525,000

         Cr. Sales Revenue                      $525,000

To record the expense associated with the sale:

Dr. Premium Expense                     $3,600

          Cr. Inventory of Premiums                 $3,600

To record the premium liability:

Dr. Premium Expense              $5,850

           Cr. Premium Liability                  $5,850

Explanation:

To record premium inventory:

# hats purchased × cost per hat = 1,300 × $9 = $11,700

To record sales:

# golf ball dozens sold × price per dozen = 10,500 × $50 = $525,000

To record the expense associated with the sale:

(# coupons presented ÷ coupons required per redemption) × cost per hat

= (2,000 ÷ 5) × $9 = $3,600

To record the premium liability:

1. Total estimated redemptions = # golf ball dozens sold × Estimated redemptions (in percent) = 10,500 × 50% = 5,250

2. Cost of estimated redemptions = (estimated redemptions ÷ coupons required per redemption) × cost per hat = (5,250 ÷ 5) × $9 = $9,450

3. Redemptions to date = expense associated with sale (from previous entry) = $3,600

4. Liability at 12/31/2017 = Cost of estimated redemptions - redemptions to date = $9,450 - $3,600 = $5,850
