a. Colbert sells 3D printer systems. Recently, Colbert provided a special promotion of zero-interest financing for 2 years on any new 3D printer system. Assume that Colbert sells Lyle Cartright a 3D system, receiving a $5,000 zero-interest-bearing note on January 1, 2020. The cost of the 3D printer system is $4,000. Colbert imputes a 6% interest rate on this zero-interest note transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale on January 1, 2020, and compute the total amount of revenue to be recognized in 2020.
b. Colbert sells 20 nonrefundable $100 gift cards for 3D printer paper on March 1, 2020. The paper has a standalone selling price of $100 (cost $80). The gift cards expiration date is June 30, 2020. Colbert estimates that customers will not redeem 10% of these gift cards. The pattern of redemption is as follows.
Redemption Total

April 30.............................................80
