Assume Costco wants to compete with large manufacturers of golf bags. Costco begins selling a new model of golf bag in its stores for $150. The bag comes with a coupon that customers may mail in to receive a free box of one dozen Kirkland (Costco's brand) golf balls. Each dozen golf balls cost Costco $9.50 to produce and $1.50 to mail to the customer. Kirkland estimates that 40% of the customers who buy a golf bag will mail in the coupon for the free golf balls. During the first quarter of 2020 Costco sold 12,000 golf bags. During that time, 1,000 customers mailed in their coupons and Costco sent them their golf balls. What is the rebate expense and liability, respectively, shown on Costco's financial statements at the end of the first quarter of 2020?
