    Surely this is not difficult parts 1 and 2 pass through the cash receipts journal. You are not told whether cash accounting or accrual accounting is used assuming accrual accounting make an accrual entry for 90% of pledges

    This requires fund accounting so treat each fund as if it is a separate set of accounts
