Question

During the annual fund-raising drive, the Cancer Society raised $900,000 in pledges of financial support for general operations. By fiscal year-end, the society had collected $600,000 of the pledges. The society estimates that 10% of the remaining pledges will be uncollectible. The NET amount of revenue the society should recognize during the current year from this pledge drive is

Answer 1

$ 870,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

The funds raised by the cancer society = $ 900,000

The amount that has been collected back = $ 600,000

The amount that is uncollectible = 10% of the remaining amount

i.e 10% of ( $ 900,000 - $ 600,000 ) = $ 30,000

Therefore,

the net amount of revenue the society should recognize during the current year from this pledge drive is calculated as:

= The funds raised by the cancer society - The amount that is uncollectible

or

= $ 900,000 - $ 30,000

or

= $ 870,000
