9. A fund-raising bazaar and banquet were held. All $300,000 of gross receipts were unrestricted. Costs incurred—including food, gifts, kitchen help, and waiters—totaled $60,000. Costs would have been higher, but the hotel waived its normal charge ($10,000) and a local supermarket donated food and other merchandise valued at $7,500.
10. To ensure that the babies, young children, and elderly clients are receiving proper medical attention, a local doctor gives each a thorough physical examination annually. He refuses to accept payment for his services, conservatively valued at $30,000. Similarly, a clinical psychologist ensures that each client is properly tested (e.g., intelligence, aptitudes, and progress) on a timely basis. His time would be conservatively valued at $15,000 if he accepted payment. Both the doctor and the psychologist have assigned duties, keep regular hours, maintain case records on each child, and call to the attention of institute staff members each child’s status, potential, and psychological or medical needs. Both spend their time approximately 30% on Program A clients, 20% on Program B clients, and 25% each on Program C and D clients.
11. The family that donated the lot and building (in item 6) also donated land and a small building adjacent to the institute offices for use as an infant nursery and playground. The land and building are conservatively appraised at:
