Question

Southeastern College began the year with endowment investments of $1,240,000 and $730,000 of restricted cash designated by a donor for capital additions.

1. During the year an additional $504,000 donation was received for capital additions. These funds, together with those contributed in the prior year, were used to purchase 150 acres of land adjacent to the university.
2. An alum contributed $240,000 to the permanent endowment and pledged to provide an additional $460,000 early next year. The cash was immediately invested.

During the year, $53,000 of interest and dividends were received on endowment investments.
