Of the gift cards sold in November, $195 were redeemed in November and $455 were redeemed in December. Peterson views the probability of redemption of a gift card as remote if the card has not been redeemed within two months. At 12/31/2021, Peterson would show a deferred revenue account for the gift cards with a balance of:

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,300

Explanation:

Given that,

On November 15, 2021

sold gift cards = $1,950

Of the gift cards sold in November,

Redeemed in November = $195

Redeemed in December = $455

Therefore, the deferred revenue is as follows

= November sales - Redemptions

=  November sales - (Redeemed in November + Redeemed in December)

= $1,950 - ($195 + $455)

= $1,950 - $650

= $1,300
