It uses the deferral method to account for contributions and an encumbrance system to control expenditures. For simplicity, UH accounts for all of its activities through an operations fund. UH has provided the following selected transactions for the current year: a. At the beginning of the year, UH unexpectedly received $1,000,000 from the government to purchase three monitoring machines. UH immediately purchased the machines.
