Follow-up Question

That was my answer and it was incorrect, as far as the Breakage revenue.  See image.

The image displays a financial record entry for December 31, involving gift card revenue, sales revenue, and sales revenue from breakage. It uses a format typical of accounting entries:

1. **Unearned Gift Card Revenue**: Recorded with a value of 2600. This represents the total amount of gift card sales that have not yet been redeemed.

2. **Sales Revenue**: Listed with a value of 2300. This indicates the revenue earned from sales, presumably from redeemed gift cards.

3. **Sales Revenue (Breakage)**: Displayed with a value of 300. Breakage revenue refers to the estimated amount from gift cards that are sold but not expected to be redeemed.

The entry includes a note explaining its purpose: "(To record redemption and expected breakage revenue)." This indicates the entry is for tracking both the recognized revenue from redeemed gift cards and the expected revenue from those that are not redeemed.
