.
Gift cards are considered as unearned revenue because cash are received against the issue if gift cards and some obligations are left to be done by the issuer. This obligation is equivalent to service to be rendered.
Gift cards are considered as revenue earned when gift cards are redeemed or considered expired or otherwise transferred to earned revenue.
The amount redeemed during year $60000 plus $50,000 transferred to due to expiry are considered as revenue earned.
