    CPA · Question 08 · Area I: Financial Reporting

    A nongovernmental NFP incurred the following expenses:<br/>- Printing of annual report: $10,000<br/>- Unsolicited mailing including an appeal for funds and educational materials (mission-related): $25,000<br/>- Salary of the CEO: $150,000<br/><br/>The mailing does NOT meet the criteria for allocating joint costs (purpose, audience, content). How should these expenses be reported by function?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Program Services: $185,000; Supporting Services: $0

    B.

    Program Services: $0; Supporting Services: $185,000

    C.

    Program Services: $25,000; Supporting Services: $160,000

    D.

    Program Services: $0; Supporting Services: $185,000 (assuming CEO is M&G)

    How to approach this question

    If a fundraising appeal contains educational material but fails the 'criteria for joint costs' (Purpose, Audience, Content), ALL costs are classified as Fundraising (Supporting Services).

    Full Answer

    D.Program Services: $0; Supporting Services: $185,000 (assuming CEO is M&G)✓ Correct
    D
    Because the mailing included an appeal for funds and did not meet the criteria for allocating joint costs (specifically Purpose, Audience, or Content), the entire $25,000 must be classified as Fundraising (a Supporting Service). The annual report is Management & General (Supporting). The CEO salary is typically M&G unless specified otherwise. Thus, all $185,000 are Supporting Services.

    Common mistakes

    Allocating the educational portion of the mailing to Program Services despite failing the criteria.
