Assume that Colbert sells Lyle Cartright a 3D system, receiving a $5,000 zero-interest- bearing note on January 1, 2017. The cost of the 3D printer system is $4,000. Colbert imputes a 6% interest rate on this zero-interest note transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale on January 1, 2017, and compute the total amount of revenue to be recognized in 2017.

Colbert estimates that customers will not redeem 10% of these gift cards. The pattern of redemption is as follows.
Redemption Total
