Three not-for-profit organizations operate separately in Central City. The most established entity, Central Support, has been around for over 100 years and generates by far the largest amount of dona-tions. Central Kidz. Zone was founded 30 years ago and generates less than half of what Central Support brings in. Central Emergency Aid was founded just 20 years ago and provides relief to those in the most urgent of cir-cumstances. Central Emergency Aid is building its donation network and is already close to the level of Central Kidz Zone in terms of fundraising dollars.Until last year, all three entities operated separately —separate staff, separate spaces, and separate work plans. Then last year, discussions began to coordinate some of their administrative efforts for efficiency pur-poses, recognizing that each could benefit if they were willing to give up a bit of comfort.Each entity is paying the following amount annually to rent administrative space and cover the cost of…
Several years ago, Grant County was sued by a former County employee for wrongful discharge. Although it was to be contested by the County, at the time of the lawsuit the attorneys believed that the County was likely to lose and the estimated amount of the ultimate judgment would be $100,000. This year, the case was finally settled with a judgment against the County of $150,000, which was paid. Assuming that the County maintains its books and records in a manner to facilitate the preparation of its government-wide financial statements, the entry in the current year should be a. Debit Expenditures $150,000; Credit Cash $150,000. b. Debit Expenses $150,000; Credit Cash $150,000. c. Debit Expenditures $50,000 and Claims Payable $100,000; Credit Cash $150,000. d.
