Answer:
Explanation:
(1)
FV = PV x (1 + r)^N
FV = $75,000
PV = $35,000
r = 8%
75,000 = 35,000 x (1.08)^N
(1.08)N = 2.1429
N ln 1.08 = ln 2.1429
N = ln 2.1429 / ln 1.08 = 0.33 / 0.033 = 10 years
(2)
FV = Annual payment, A x PVA
FV = $43,700
n = 6 years
A = 8,000
43,700 = 8,000 x PVA
PVA = 5.4625
PVIFA (6 years, r%) = 5.4172
r=3%.
(3)
PV = Annual payment, A x PVIFA (r%, n years)
PV = $18,000
n = 6 years
r = 9%
$18,000 = A x PVIFA (9%, 6 years) = A x 4.4859 [From PVIFA table]
A = $18,000 / 4.4859 = $4,012.57
Answer: The correct answer is "D. It begins when the engagement letter is signed and continues until the report for the third year is issued unless the relationship is terminated sooner.".

Answer and explanation:
As their name describes, <em>nonprofit entities</em> are organizations whose main plan is not to have revenues out of their operations. They usually provide social services to different sectors of the population and can handle their operations mainly thanks to charity and donations. While making their budgets, these organizations cannot estimate their revenues since they cannot take donations for granted. Instead, they estimate their expenses since they will be incurred for sure.
