When liquidated in December, the estate realized $1,050,000. Administrative costs of the estate in 2013 were $40,000. The net proceeds were then transferred to the school district and were invested in appropriate securities. In 2014, income from investments was $70,000. Administrative costs (all related to income) were $2,500. The first scholarships were awarded in 2014 for a total of $50,000. The investments are worth $1,040.000 at the end of 2014.
