General Product Inc.'s coupon liability as of December 31, 2021, is $24 million.

What is coupon liability?

Coupon liability is a contingent liability arising from coupon redemption obligations.

As a potential future liability, only the amount that can be reasonably estimated should be recognized.

Data and Calculations:

Distributed coupons = 150 million

Coupon redemption cost per unit = 40 cents

Total potential liability from coupons = $60 million (150 million x $0.40)

Probability of occurrence = 70%

Estimated redeemable liability = $42 million ($60 million x 70%)

Redeemed coupons in 2021 = 45 million or $18 million (45 million x $0.40)

Recognized contingent liability for 2021 = $24 million ($42 - $18 million)

Thus, General Product Inc.'s coupon liability as of December 31, 2021, is $24 million.
