well nm the first one I got wrong 2nd question they have specialized skills that they would have paid for anyway and the last 2 they can get anyone to do so its not a contribution and the third one since NFP use the accrual method of accounting securities are valued at fair value.

It's 52,000 b/c it's a three year non-cancelable contract with a minimum of 200,000 units @ .10 ($20k) to be purchased each year (total of $60k). Then you back out the 80,000 units that you've already purchased (80,000 units @ .10 = $8k), which equals $52k.

You have to recognize the loss and liability immediately (conservatism), so that's why you recognize all three years up front.

Glad to know that someone else if spending their Saturday with their FAR book, too! Good luck!
