Texas Roadhouse opened a new restaurant in October. During its first three months of operation, the restaurant sold gift cards in various amounts totaling $1,800. The cards are redeemable for meals within one year of the purchase date. Gift cards totaling $728 were presented for redemption during the first three months of operation prior to year-end on December 31. The sales tax rate on restaurant sales is 4%, assessed at the time meals (not gift cards) are purchased. Texas Roadhouse will remit sales taxes in January.

Required:
a. Record (in summary form) the S3,500 in gift cards sold (keeping in mind that, in actuality, the firm would record each sale of a gift card individually).
b. Record the S728 in gift cards redeemed.
c. Determine the balance in the Deferred Revenue account (remaining liability for gift cards).
