Answer: $615,000; $615,000

Explanation:

According to the Accrual Principle of Accounting, expenses are to be recorded in the period that they were incurred even if they were only paid off in another period.

The $15,000 salary expense for each fund will be incurred in the current fiscal year so even though it is only to be paid in the next year, it should be recorded in the current fiscal year. This would then bring the total of each of the funds to $615,000.
