The temporary restriction on the B.6,666 of investment income was met by e1penditure in #661, the year the gain and income were recognized. Thus, the dividend revenue may be classified as an increase in either unrestricted or temporarily restricted net assets, depending on the $ ;!s accounting policy. *nswers =*>, =%>, and =-> are incorrect because investment income may be reported as an increase in either unrestricted or temporarily restricted net assets in these circumstances. . ,A@73,A4F The classification of unrealized gain from investments held in perpetuity. 43S-7SS3;$F S'*S 11/ and 1#+ permit the recognition of gains and investment income as increases in unrestricted net assets if the donor0imposed restrictions are met in the same reporting period as the gains and investment income are recognized, provided that the organization has a similar policy for reporting contributions received, reports on a consistent basis from period to period, and ade?uately discloses its accounting policy. The temporary restriction on the income was met by e1penditure in #661, the year the income and the gain were recognized. Thus, consistent with its policy, the $ ; should treat the gain as an increase in unrestricted net assets. "iven that the donor of the endowment allows the $ ; to choose suitable investments and that no permanent restriction is imposed on the gain by the donor or by the law, the classification of the gain is the same as that of the income. *nswers =*>, =->, and =4> are incorrect because $ ;!s policy is to report the gain as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the donor restriction is met in the period the gain and income are recognized. . ,A@73,A4F The classification of une1pended dividend income generated from investments held in perpetuity.

S'*S 112 also re?uires that donated services creating or enhancing nonfinancial assets be recognized even though specialized s)ills are not involved. %ecause the members! labor helped rebuild the church, their contributions of services also should be capitalized. *nswers =*>, =%>, and =4> are incorrect because the church members! donated labor and the services of the professional carpenters should be capitalized. . ,A@73,A4F The correct accounting treatment of combined fund0raising and educational materials or program services costs. 43S-7SS3;$F =%> When fund0raising costs are combined with program services costs or educational materials, the total of these combined services should be systematically and rationally allocated between the programs and fund0 raising. *nswer =*> and =-> are incorrect because costs that do not completely relate to one category should be allocated. *nswer =4> is incorrect because the costs must be allocated to the proper programs to which they relate. . ,A@73,A4F The valuation of donated e?uity securities. 43S-7SS3;$F =-> 3n its statement of financial position, a not0for0profit organization should measure the following investments at fair valueF =1> e?uity securities with readily determinable fair values and =#> debt securities.
