Society is a nongovernmental not-for-profit organization. Recently, Food Company made an oral conditional promise to donate $20,000 to Society contingent upon its recognition as "best foundation of the year" by local government. The $20,000 is restricted to construction of a children's library. In Year 2, Society is recognized as "best foundation of the year" by local government. However, due to financial difficulties, Food Company can offer only $5,000 in Year 2 but cannot fulfill its promise until Year 3. How should the event be reported on Society's statement of financial position for Year 2?

    Dr Cash with donor restrictions 5,000

    Dr Pledges receivable 15,000

    Cr Contributions 20,000

    Explanation:

    Nonprofits can record promised donations (when the donor is expected to fulfill his/her promise), and this will increase pledges receivable account which has a debit balance. The $5,000 received in cash were received with a usage restriction since they must be used in the construction of a children's library. That is the reason why they are recorded as an asset with restrictions.

    The $20000 must be recognized as expense of which $5000 would be paid in cash and the rest $15000 would be increase in liability.

    Explanation:

    The reason is that the liability has arised as the conditions are met in the year 2 which means the food company now owes money $20,000 to Not for profit organization. So the company must recognize an increase in the cost and liability expense.

    The entry would be:

    Dr Donation Expense $20000

    Cr Cash $5000

    Cr Donation Payables $15000
