Raffle's Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $3,000.

The board members call you, their trusted CPA, to advise them on how Raffle's Kids should report the mortgage on its balance sheet. What is the ethical issue?

Becky Smith signed a note in the amount of $200,000 in favor of County Home Laons., to obtain a loan to buy a house in Marrero, Louisiana.
