5,960,000 x 0.25 =  1,490,000 coupons should have been redeemed. However by the year end 924,000 coupons were redeemed, which means that 566,000 coupons are still outstanding and will be redeemed in future  

1,490,000 - 924,000 = 566,000

One bowl is provided is provided in exchange for 4 coupons, if there are 566,000 coupons outstanding, the bowls to be claimed should be 141,500
