On January 1, 201X, Fred Miller was very, very happy. He had just convinced a wealthy donor to give $50,000,000 to start a new hospital in a poor, rural town that did not have another hospital within 50 miles. Fred proceeded to have an attorney incorporate Happy Hospital and file the paperwork for it to qualify as an IRC 501(c)(3) organization. After the hospital was

legally formed, the wealthy donor gave Fred the check for $50,000,000, and Fred depos- ited it in a new Happy Hospital checking account at Small Town Bank.

Fred ran financial analyses for operating the new hospital and determined that he needed more than $50,000,000 to finance it. He then met with the board of directors of Small Town Bank and talked the board into loaning the new hospital an additional $20,000,000 as an investment in community growth. In late January 201X, construction began on the new hospital, based on a site and plans that Fred had previously selected. While construction was under way, Fred started work on recruiting administrators and medical staff. The new hospital was finished on November 15, 201X, after the expenditure of

$40,000,000. A dedication ceremony was held the next day. The hospital started admit- ting patients on December 1, 201X.

Cash collections from patients during December totaled $8,000,000. Operating expenses paid during the month totaled $10,000,000.
