Listed are a series of transactions that require journal entries and updating of T-Accounts.

You know that preparing nonprofit journal entries are easy, so you ask the new employee to:

• prepare side by side, the correct journal entry for the identical transaction:once for a nonprofit entity
• once for a for-profit company
• include notes for each transaction

Transaction 1: Assume a nonprofit has a restricted fund for capital asset purchases. Compare the journal entries for the cash purchase of a $10,000 computer by the nonprofit, to how the journal entry would look for this for-profit.

Transaction 2: Assume that a nonprofit has a need for $80,000 for a particular new marketing expenditure, and a for-profit entity needs to raise an additional $80,000 to pay for some unanticipated marketing expenses. How would the journal entities look at the acquisition of the funds and the subsequent spending of the funds?

Transaction 3: The for-profit entity sells $120,000 with net 30-day terms, while the nonprofit entity has a fund raising drive for which they receive pledges of $120,000. How do the two journal entries look?
