The following journal entries provide examples of some typical accounting procedures for this organization in 2018.
1. CONTRIBUTIONS: As part of its fund-raising effort in 2018, NHS distributed decals to all residents in the community. The decals cost NHS $145. As a result of the campaign, the organization received unrestricted cash contributions of $4,000 and unconditional promises to give totaling $6,000. Of this $6,000 contribution receivable, $2,000 is not collectible until 2019. NHS estimates that 10% of the pledges will be uncollectible. NHS collected $3,600 of the contributions receivable due in 2018 and wrote off the remaining $400 as uncollectible.
A donor gives NHS $1,000 that is restricted for a playground project. NHS purchases supplies for the playground project for $900.
2. DONATED LONG-LIVED ASSETS: On January 1, 2018, Martin Construction donated a used van to the organization. The fair value of the van is $1,500, and it has a three-year remaining useful life. The van will be used in the organization's community service program.
3. SPECIAL EVENT FUND-RAISERS: A fund-raising event for NHS featured a dinner and dance. Ticket sales for the dinner totaled $950, and expenses of the fund-raiser amounted to $650.
4. GIFTS IN KIND: NHS receives donations of used housewares and furniture that are then sold at a rummage sale held in August. Proceeds from the sale (net) are $6,045. Office-Mate Company donates office supplies with a fair value of $390 to NHS. Office-Mate puts no restrictions on the use of the donated items.
5. MEMBERSHIP FEES: NHS offers regular memberships for $10 and sustaining memberships for $50 and over. All members are entitled to the same newsletter and local discount coupons that are distributed when the dues are received. NHS received 500 regular memberships ($5,000) and 130 sustaining memberships ($6,500).
6. DONATED SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT INCOME: NHS receives securities (fair value of $5,000) with a stipulation that they permanently endow a park enhancement project. Income earned on the securities is restricted to use for the park enhancement project. Dividend income is $475.

8. DONATED SERVICES AND PAYMENT OF SALARIES: An accounting firm donated its services to audit the books of NHS. The audit would have cost the association $1,200 if the services had not been donated.
