Question:

Fairchild Centre is an NFPO funded by govenunent grants and private donations. It was established on January 1, Year 5, to provide counselling services and a drop-in centre for single parents.

On January 1, Year 5, the centre leased an old warehouse in the central part of Small ville for $1,600 per month. It carried out minor renovations in the warehouse to create a large open area for use as a play area for children and three offices for use by the executive director and counsellors. The lease runs from January 1, Year 5, to June 30, Year 7. By that time, the centre hopes to move into new quarters that are more suitable for the activities carried out.

The following schedule summarizes the cash flows for the year ended December 31, Year 5:


Cash inflows: $ 48,000 Government grant for operating costs (Note 1) Donations from individuals with no restrictions 59,

2. The centre has signed an agreement to purchase a property in the downtown area of Smallville for $216,000. There is an old house on the property, which is currently used as a rooming house. The closing date is any time between July 1, Year 6, and December 31, Year 6. The centre plans to demolish the existing house and build a new complex.
