Expert Solution
Step 1 Working

Year 2014

No. of boxes sold= 540000

Therefore no. of coupons distributed= 540000

Expected to be redeemed= 540000 *60% = 324000

Actually redeemed = 144000

ie: 14400 premiums being redeemed.

Premium purchased= 36000 @ $1.00

Left in stock = 36000 - 14400 = 21600 premiums for redemption.

 

Year 2015

Opening balance of premiums= 21600

Premiums purchased during the year= 29000 @ $1.10

No. of coupons presented for redemption= 495000

ie: 49500 premiums were redeemed.

    21600 premiums @ $1      = $21600

    27900 premiums @ $1.10  = $30690

                Total Premiums      = $52290

Left in stock = 1100 premiums * $1.10 = $1210
