You volunteer at NNN, a local NPO that helps provide food and shelter to lower income individuals in Ottawa. On your first day at the NPO, the executive director meets with you and provides you with some information about he previous year:
She mentions that the Organization uses the encumbrance method (except for salaries) to keep an eye on expenses. These are closed every year-end. The organization wishes to continue presenting net asset invested in capital asset separately.
The organization has an accounting policy of capitalizing and amortizing its capital assets straight line.
She provides you with the following accounting information:

While going through the bank statements, you notice the following transactions. The Executive director confirm to you that they were not yet recorded in the books of the organization:
1) NNN receives an endowment of $500,000 from the mayor of the City. They gave instructions that this cash should be invested in money market funds (investment account). Any investment income earned can be used to pay for expenses of the House-now! program. Investment income relating to this endowment was $150,000 for the year.
2) NNN held their annual fundraisers right before COVID was declared a pandemic. No cash was collected but pledges of $800,000 were received. Per reliable historical experience, 30% of these pledges are usually not collected. A few days after the fundraiser, some "pledgers" contacted NNN to mention that COVID-19 has put them in a precarious financial situation and a such they were cancelling their pledges. These represents 10% of the pledge balance that existed as of January 1, 2020
3) On February 1, the organization buys more hotels for $2,000,000. Half came from the housing now! restricted funds. The remainder came from unrestricted resources. The hotels are the only depreciable asset that NNN has ever bought with restricted resources.
4) The depreciation for the year was $900,000. A third of that amount related to the depreciation of assets bought with restricted resources (House now!).
5) The on-set of COVID-19 brought some uncertainty surrounding the on-going viability of NNN. As such, the executive director would like to understand how encumbrances work with an example (just write the entries). Here is the example to use to explain: In 2020- orders estimated to $650,000 were issued for the purchase of goods and services. Invoices of $443,000 were received on orders that were initially recorded at an estimate cost of $566,000. 20% of these invoices were unpaid at the end of the year. The invoices were equally split between the deferred programs.
6) Salary expenses for the year amounted to $900,000. 5% remained unpaid at year-end.
Required (Please show calculations)
a) Prepare the journal entries for the organization for the 2020 year under the deferral
method & the restricted fund method
b) Prepare the Statement of Operations, the Statement of Financial Position, and the
Statement of Changes in Fund Balances for the 2020-year under the deferral method
only.
