Question:
The following facts relate to gift cards sold by Sunbru Coffee Company during 2018. Sunbru’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
(a.) In October 2018, sold $3,500 of gift cards, and redeemed $550 of those gift cards.
(b.) In November 2018, sold $4,500 of gift cards, and redeemed $1,450 of October gift cards and $750 of November gift cards.
(c.) In December 2018, sold $3,500 of gift cards, and redeemed $250 of October gift cards, $2,500 of November gift cards, and $450 of December gift cards.
(d.) Sunbru views a gift card to be “broken” (with a remote probability of redemption) two months after the end of the month in which it is sold. Thus, an unredeemed gift card sold at any time during July would be viewed as broken as of September 30.
