Question

please answer correctly with better explanation 

Bridgeport van Leeuwen operates a very busy roadside fruit and vegetable stand from May to October every year as part of his
farming operation, which has a December 31 year end and uses ASPE. Each time a customer purchases over $10 of produce,
Bridgeport gives the customer a special fruit-shaped sticker that can't be copied. If a customer collects 10 of these stickers, they can
have $10 worth of produce for no charge. The stickers must be redeemed by June 30 of the following year. During the current year,
21,500 stickers were given out to customers. Bridgeport knows from experience that some stickers will never be cashed in, as the
customer may not shop at his stand frequently enough to collect 10 stickers, or they get lost or forgotten. In previous years, 12% of
stickers have been redeemed. During the current year, 6% of the stickers given out were redeemed. Bridgeport uses the expense
approach to account for premiums and estimates that product costs are 60% of their selling prices.
Determine the amount that should be reported as premium expense on the December 31 income statement and the amount of
any liability at December 31.
