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.

7. SUPPLIES: NHS had supplies on hand of $1,600 at January 1, 2018. The organization purchased supplies for $1,500 during the year and received donations of supplies that had a fair value of $2,050 in addition to the $390 already received. At the end of 2018, the inventory on hand was $750. The supplies used were allocated to recreation programs, $2,000; community service programs, $1,400; fund-raising expenses, $600; and general administration, $790.

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. NHS also paid salaries allocated to program services and administration as follows: recreation programs, $6,000; community services, $4,000; and management and general, $2,000.

9. DEPRECIATION: NHSs equipment owned has been recorded as an unrestricted asset. The organization allocates the $8,000 depreciation expense on the equipment to its programs and general administration as follows: $3,000 to recreation program, $4,000 to community service, and $1,000 to management and general.

10. FIXED ASSET PURCHASE WITH RESTRICTED RESOURCES: NHS purchased equipment costing $4,000. The equipment was financed by $3,000 from contributions with donor-imposed restrictions that were accumulated for purchase of the equipment and $1,000 from general resources.

Required: 1. Prepare entries, in general journal form, to record the transactions for 2018. 2. Prepare the necessary closing entries for 2018.
