ACC Tax ch 13

In Lizzie Shoes\' experience, gift cards that have not been redeemed within 12 months are not likely to be redeemed. Lizzie Shoes sold gift cards for $23,599 during August of 2016. $2,424 of cards were redeemed in September of 2016, $2,672 in October, $3,212 in November, and $1,848 in December of 2016. In 2017 an additional $2,048 of cards were redeemed in January and $1,173 in February.

How much gift card revenue associated with the August 2016 gift card sales would Lizzie get to recognize in 2016?

Solution

Answer:

In 2016 Lizzie would recognize $10,153 of revenue ($2,424+ $2,672 + $3,212 + $1,848). In 2017 Lizziewould recognize the remainder of $13,446 ($23,599 – $10,153), either because gift cards were redeemed(the $2,048 in January and the $1,173 in February) or because they are viewed as expired
