February 4. Placed an order for new cubicle partitions with 5-year useful lives, for $15,000. ARCH uses straight-line depreciation.

This was a new grant made in the current fiscal year. May 29. Paid a $5,000 deposit for the partitions ordered on February 4. June 12. Collected $80,000 in new donations. September 1. Bought $60,000 of books ARCH has sponsored in the past to sell in its online bookstore. It paid half now, and still owes the other half, to be paid at the end of the year. ARCH has budgeted to sell the books for $100,000 total. October 15. The partitions ordered on February 4 arrived, and ARCH paid for the balance owed. November 10.
