1a. assuming K-University is a private not-for-profit university:
Pledges receivables $200,000 Revenue from contribution $200,000
Resources released from restrictions $150,000 Cash $150,000
Production expenses $150,000 Resources released from restrictions $150,000
b. assuming K-University only engages in business types activities:
Pledges receivable $200,000 Revenue from contribution $200,000
Production expenses $150,000 Cash $150,000
2. Reporting cash flows is different between public and private because the GASB mandates that Governments use the direct method as opposed to the indirect method. The FASB does encourage business and not-for-profits to utilize the direct method. That being said, there is only one journal entry for the expenditure when it comes to a private or business type entity.
