Lew Co. sold 200,000 corrugated boxes for $2 each. Lew’s cost was $1 per unit. The sales agreement gave the customer the right to return up to 60% of the boxes within the first 6 months, provided an appropriate reason was given. It was reasonably estimated that 5% of the boxes would be returned. Lew expects an additional $3,000 of costs to recover those boxes. What amount should Lew report as gross profit from this transaction?
