recorded music and sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and P 20 for an AM/FM radio. Dolores pays
P 34 for each radio and estimates that 60% of the coupon given to customers will be redeemed.

Dolores’s total sales of 2020 were P 57,600,000 – P 43,200,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction
equipment and P 14,400,000 from recorded music and sheet music. Replacement labor and parts for warranty work

no amount is a better estimate of potential liability than any other amount.
A. Zero
B. P 2,000,000

BONUS OBLIGATION
Sonic Company’s president gets an annual bonus of 10% of net income after bonus and income tax. Assume the tax
rate of 30% and the correct income before bonus and tax is P9,600,000. (Ignore the effects of other given items on
net income.)
A. P 722,600
B. P 395,000
C. P 2,240,000
D. P 628,000

SOLUTION:
B = 10% (NI - B - T)
B = 10% [P 9,600,000 - B - 30%(P 9,600,000 - B)]
B = 10% [P 9,600,000 - B - P 2,880,000 + 0.3B)]
B = P 960,000 - 0.10B - P 288,000 + 0.03B]
B = P 672,000 - 0.07B
B + 0.07B = P 672,000
1.07B = P 672,000
B = P 672,000 / 1.07
B = P 628,037
