The correct answer is C.
Why does the remaining loss serve to reduce the expanses of $45,000.
Just thought they are both losses.

Question CPA-01216
A not-for-profit voluntary health and welfare organization received a
$500,000 permanent endowment. The donor stipulated that the income
must be used for a mental health program. The endowment fund reported
$60,000 net decrease in market value and $30,000 investment income.
The organization spent $45,000 on the mental health program during the
year. What amount of change in temporarily restricted net assets should
the organization report?

a.     $75,000 decrease.
b.     $15,000 decrease.
c.      $0
d.     $425,000 increase.

The question asks about change in temporary restricted
net assets.

I would approach the question as follows:

Beg. Balance          ; Increase     Decrease & nbsp;   
End Balance
Permanent Restricted        50 0,000         & nbsp;     
Decrease:        &nb sp;         &nb sp;         &nb
sp; 
Mkt decrease   60,000    &nbs p;     &nbs p;         &nbs p;      
less. Additional spent   45,000     & nbsp;    &nbs p;       
  &nbs p; 
Add. Investment income 30,000           0          ; 
-75,000     
Ending Balance          ;           ;           ;       
    ; 
425,000
Temporary Restricted        &n bsp; 0        & nbsp;      
Add. Investment income          &nbs p;        30,000        &nbs p;   
 
less. Spent on mental health program          ;       
    ; 
-30,000     
Ending Balance          ;           ;           ;       
    ;      
0
Unrestricted          ;           ; 0      ;     0    &nbs
p;       
  &nbs p;
0           ;0

All funds in this example are classified as either
Permanent or Temporary Restricted. You can always look at
the following points:
1) What is the ending balance of the Permanent Restricted
assets?
2) What is the Change in Permanent Restricted net assets?
3) What is the ending balance of the Unrestricted assets?
