Encumbrances outstanding at the end of the year	75,000

D.$935,000

2.A county's general fund bought equipment for $50,000. The equipment was estimated to have a 10-year life, straight-line, no salvage value. Four years later, it sold the equipment for $18,000. In the year of the sale, the government-wide statement of activities will report

A.Loss on sale of capital assets of $12,000

B.Proceeds from sale of capital assets of $18,000

C.Loss on sale of capital assets of $32,000

D.Proceeds from sale of capital assets of $32,000

Answer 1

Ans:-

1. Given

Encumbrance related to beginning of the year=$50,000

Encumbrance related to end of the year=$75,000

Excess of revenue and other financing sources=$860,000

Now

Excess of revenue and other financing sources over expenditure and other financing uses, through use of GAAP budgetary basis.

Over Change in encumbrance at the end is $25,000 i.e..,($75,000-$50,000)

We have an excess revenue and other financing sources is $860,000

Change in encumbrance shall be diducted from excess revenue=$860,000-$25,000

=$835,000

Here we have an excess of revenue over other financing sources and other expenditure. So, the change in encumbrance from beginning to ending is eligible for diduction from above excess values.

So option B is correct

2.

The general fund brought for equipment is $50,000

It's useful life is about 10 years

No salvage

And depreciation shall be calculated on straight line basis

So,

Depreciation on equipment=(cost of asset-salvage value)/Number of years

=($50,000-$0)/10

=$5,000

Depreciation for every year is $5,000

Depreciation for the 4years=$5,000*4=$20,000

Value of equipment after 4 years =$50,000-$20,000

=$30,000

Sale value of the equipment is $18,000

So, the loss on sale of equipment is

=$30,000-$18,000

=$12,000

But in government wise statment of activities will report as Proceeds from sale of capital asset is $18,000.

And the related loss on sale of equipment will.be shown in notes below the statements.

So, the Option B is correct
