Answer: $12,900

Explanation:

Given that,

sold gift cards in January = $12,900

sold gift cards in February = $19,950

sold gift cards in March = $19,800

During 2018, gift card redemptions were:

January = $8,400

February = $5,700

March = $5,550

Revenue recognized in 2018 with respect to January gift card sales:

= Gift card redemption in January + Gift card breakage

= $8,400 + ($12,900 - $8,400 )

= $8,400 + $4,500

= $12,900

Out of this $8,400 will be gift card redemption and $4,500 gift card breakage.
