Full Answer

C.$250,000✓ Correct
$250,000
Under ASC 958-605, NFPs recognize contributions when received or unconditionally promised. Donor restrictions affect classification (with/without restrictions) but not timing of recognition. Volunteer services are recognized if they create/enhance nonfinancial assets or require specialized skills that would otherwise be purchased.

Common mistakes

Deferring restricted contributions until restrictions are met, not recognizing pledges until cash is received, or omitting volunteer services that meet recognition criteria
