Question:

Atwater Health Services, a voluntary health and welfare organization, has provided support for families with low income in the town of Atwater for approximately 20 years. In 20X6, it conducted a major funding campaign to help replace facilities that are no longer adequate and to generate operating and endowment funds.
The community of Atwater ran a number of special events, and the chamber of commerce made the fund-raising campaign a major activity for 20X6. In 20X6, Atwater Health Services received the following gifts and pledges:
1. The Plentiful family donated a lot adjacent to the current building for future use as a playground and parking lot. The family had purchased the lot for $22,000 several years ago. It had a current value of $42,000 at the date contributed.
2. A number of new pledges were received and many were partially or fully paid in 20X6. The following information was compiled:
Unrestricted pledges for use in 20X6 ................ $120,000
Unrestricted pledges for use in 20X7 ................. 70,000
Pledges to support screening tests for children’s hearing abilities ...... 90,000
Pledge to assist in construction of addition to building; donor agrees to make
eight annual payments of $50,000 each ................ 400,000
$ 680,000

3. Also during 20X6, $45,000 was spent in providing free vision tests for all grade school children in the community. A total of $38,000 collected in 20X4 and 20X5 for this purpose were used to help pay for the costs of providing the tests.
