Explanation of Solution

Effects on the financial statements:

The premium was offered by Company TC to increase the sales and the redemption of coupons is probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Thus, Company TC must record the estimate as an expense and the related liability during the sales period. If the estimate is not made, then the expenses will not match properly against the sales premium. As an effect of this Company TC’s expense would be understated by $20,000. In addition to this, Company TC’s liability will not properly reflect the probable obligation of the company. Thus, Company TC’s liability will be understated by $20,000.
