1. Landslot gave Landslot City $\$ 2$ million with the stipulations mentioned previously.
2. The city paid $\$ 500,000$ to a local advertising agency to publicize the parade.
3. The city sponsored a float in the parade. The total cost of building the float was $\$ 200,000$. Based on the trust agreement, this expenditure from the gift is acceptable.

6. The city paid $\$ 300,000$ to various school bands and marching groups to participate in the parade.
7. A "kick-off dinner" was held 2 months before the parade to start the parade season. The cost of the dinner was $\$ 123,000$.

9. The cost of permits and other legal obligations totaled $\$ 500$.
10. The remaining cash, except for $\$ 10,000$, was invested in certificates of deposit. According to the trust agreement, this money would be invested and used to provide for the 2005 parade.
