On the last day of the year, the city borrowed $64,000 from a local bank and used that money to
buy a truck. The first payment on the loan (plus interest) will be made at the end of the next
year.

The city started a landfill this year that it is recording within its general fund. It is included as a
public works function. Closure costs today would be $260,000 although the landfill is not
expected to be filled for nine more years. The city has incurred no costs to date although the
landfill is now 15 percent filled.

For the equipment and supplies that have been ordered but not yet received, the City Council
(the highest decision-making body in the government) has voted to honor the commitment when
the items are received.

The new building is being depreciated over 20 years using the straight-line method and no
salvage value, whereas depreciation of the equipment is similar except that its life is only 10
years. Assume the city records a full year's depreciation in the year of acquisition.

The investments are valued at $116,000 at year-end.

a. Prepare a statement of activities and a statement of net position for governmental activities
for December 31, 2017, and the year then ended.

b. Prepare a statement of revenues, expenditures, and other changes in fund balances and a
balance sheet for the general fund as of December 31, 2017, and the year then ended. Assume
that the purchases method is being applied.
