Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events, based on the assumption that the nonprofit, with a June 30 fiscal year-end, uses a single account to record all unrealized and realized investment gains and losses. Then, prepare journal entries for Events 2 and 3, based on the assumption that the nonprofit separates unrealized from realized investment gains and losses. 1. On July 15, a nonprofit received a donation of Apple stock that had a fair value of $75,000 at the time of the donation. The donor told the nonprofit that the stock could be sold and used only to finance a particular research project. 2. On December 31, when the nonprofit closed its books, the stock had a fair value of $76,500. 3. On February 15, the nonprofit sold the stock for $76,000. 4. On March 15, the nonprofit spent the entire $76,000 on the research project for which the donor made the gift.
The following selected transactions occurred for a nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization. 1. Received a contribution of stock to establish an endowment fund. The income from the endowment is unrestricted. The donor had acquired the stock for $23 about 20 years earlier. Its estimated fair value when donated was $250. 2.

Land has a fair value of $32,000. Feb 1: A donor contributes $60,000 on the condition that the principal amount be invested in marketable securities and that only the income earned from the investment be spent on operations. Income of $2,000 was earned and received during 2020 on these investments. General donations of $85,000 were received during 2020. d)    Feb 1: the government gave $80,000 to Good Charity to purchase equipment and furniture with a useful life of 10 years. This was all used to purchase $100,000 of equipment and furniture on July 1, 2020 and the operation opened in a rented facility on July 2, 2020. e)    Costs of $72,000 were incurred…
