Meta has a number of apps e.g. Instagram and services e.g. Workplace, hundred million times more users, revenue in the tens of billions and a highly labour intensive content moderation system.
The comparison is silly. Far better would be with mobile app developers who typically have much smaller teams than 24.
And so I would agree that their headcount seems excessive for what is being delivered.
Thunderbird has at least 20 million users. You think meta has trillions of customers? Those outsourced content mod teams are not included in that headcount either
In account terms a for profit company receiving a donated asset will record the donation as a debit to "Fixed Asset" and a credit to "Contribution Revenue.
For non profit:
When recording journal entries, it is important to determine if the donated asset just passes from the organization to another person, such as donating clothes to the Goodwill, which pass to whoever receives the clothes from the goodwill. If this amount is not substantial, then the asset is not recorded; if the donation is substantial then the company records the assets. Substantial means it will have a meaningful impact on the financial statement.
If the asset passes as such and is substantial, then debit "Expense" and credit "Unrestricted Contributions." If someone donates a substantial amount but the asset is not passed to another person, then record the donation by debiting "Assets" and crediting "Contributions."
If the company sells the donated asset above its fair market value, then the amount over the fair market value is revenue. For example, a nonprofit auctions off a trip to Hawaii that has a fair value of $10,000. The trip auctions for $15,000. The $5,000 difference is revenue.
The comparison is silly. Far better would be with mobile app developers who typically have much smaller teams than 24.
