OK Glenn. I thought you were saying to credit both an Unearned Revenue account (liability) and an Other Income (Income Statement) account. With double-entry accounting, you of course can only have one debit and one credit for the same dollar amount. You could of course do a combination, for example: debit Cash $1,000 credit Unearned Revenue (liability) $600 credit Other Income (Inc. Stmt) $400 and then use an estimated Cost of Goods Sold to estimate the cost for the $400 of unredeemed certificates that will presumably be used in Q1 99. I'm sure Ms. Covey will figure something out, which will leave things thoroughly muddy.
