Chapter 1, Problem 3E

Exercise 1-3A Identifying the reporting entities

Karen White helped organize a charity fund to help cover the medical expenses of her friend, Vicky Hill, who was seriously injured in a bicycle accident. The fund was named the Vicky Hill Recovery Fund (VHRF). Karen contributed $1,000 of her own money to the fund. The $1,000 was paid to WKUX, a local radio station that designed and played an advertising campaign to educate the public about Vicky’s predicament. The campaign resulted in the collection of $20,000 cash, and VHRF paid $12,000 to Mercy Hospital to cover Vicky’s outstanding hospital cost. The remaining $8,000 was donated to the National Cyclist Fund.
