Question:
- Leftorium, Inc. is incorporated in State A and operates a retail store (selling goods for left-handed people) in State B. It sells gift cards in the State B store to customers who live in nearby State C. About 5% of the gift cards issued to State C residents are never claimed. This amounts to about $100,000 per year in unused gift card balances. Leftorium records a customer’s address when they buy a gift card. Historically, Leftorium would report and remit the value of the unclaimed gift cards to State C. Because of the cost, Leftorium’s CEO lobbied the State C legislature to change the law and stop requiring unused gift cards to be classified as unclaimed property. State C obliged and changed the law.
- Assuming the gift cards remain unclaimed by the customers, has Leftorium in fact saved $100,000 per year? Why or why not?
