Bonnie’s Family is a non-profit organization which assists families with low-income, special needs children, or are victims of domestic violence. They have a 30 year mortgage with a 5% interest rate which requires a payment of $3,000 per month. In preparing the financial statements for the board, you list the mortgage balance of $287,000 as a current liability based on the board hoping to pay it off within the next year. If Bonnie’s pays according to the mortgage agreement, only $20,000 will be paid in the next year. The board asks an independent CPA to advise how to report the mortgage on the balance sheet.
- Explain how to account for the mortgage payment based on U.S. GAAP, assuming the board feels they will pay the entire balance in the next year.
- Provide supporting information to the accounting for the mortgage on the balance sheet for your response to requirement 1
