How to approach this question

Under ASC 958, recognize unconditional promises immediately regardless of payment timing or restrictions. Don't recognize conditional promises until conditions are substantially met. Recognize donated assets at fair value. Only recognize volunteer services if they create/enhance assets or require specialized skills that would otherwise be purchased.

Full Answer

B.$150,000✓ Correct
$150,000
ASC 958-605 requires recognition of unconditional promises when made, regardless of payment timing. Conditional promises are recognized when conditions are substantially met. Donated assets are recognized at fair value. General volunteer services (fundraising) don't meet the specialized skills criterion for recognition.

Common mistakes

Recognizing conditional pledges before conditions are met, not recognizing donated assets, or including volunteer services that don't meet recognition criteria
