For a number of years, a private not-for-profit entity has been preparing financial statements that do not necessarily follow generally accepted accounting principles. At the end of the most recent year (Year 2), those financial statements show total assets of $900,000, total liabilities of $100,000, total unrestricted net assets of $400,000, total temporarily restricted net assets of $300,000, and total permanently restricted net assets of $100,000. In addition, total expenses for the year were $500,000 (shown in unrestricted net assets).  At the beginning of Year 1, the entity above received $50,000 in cash as a gift with the stipulation that the money be used to buy a bus. The accountant made the appropriate entry at that time. On the first day of Year 2, the entity spent the $50,000 for the bus, an asset that will last for 10 years and will have no salvage value. Because the money came from an outside donor, entity officials decided that a time restriction on the bus should be assumed for 10 years. In Year 2, it reported $5,000 as depreciation expense in unrestricted net assets. In addition, the organization made a $50,000 reduction in permanently restricted net assets and a $50,000 increase in unrestricted net assets.a. What was the correct amount of unrestricted net assets at the end of Year 2?b. What was the correct amount of expenses for Year 2?c. What was the correct amount of temporarily restricted net assets at the end of Year 2?

Question

For a number of years, a private not-for-profit entity has been preparing financial statements that do not necessarily follow generally accepted accounting principles. At the end of the most recent year (Year 2), those financial statements show total assets of $900,000, total liabilities of $100,000, total unrestricted net assets of $400,000, total temporarily restricted net assets of $300,000, and total permanently restricted net assets of $100,000. In addition, total expenses for the year were $500,000 (shown in unrestricted net assets). 

At the beginning of Year 1, the entity above received $50,000 in cash as a gift with the stipulation that the money be used to buy a bus. The accountant made the appropriate entry at that time. On the first day of Year 2, the entity spent the $50,000 for the bus, an asset that will last for 10 years and
will have no salvage value. Because the money came from an outside donor, entity officials decided
that a time restriction on the bus should be assumed for 10 years. In Year 2, it reported $5,000 as depreciation expense in unrestricted net assets. In addition, the organization made a $50,000 reduction in permanently restricted net assets and a $50,000 increase in unrestricted net assets.
a. What was the correct amount of unrestricted net assets at the end of Year 2?
b. What was the correct amount of expenses for Year 2?
