Explanation of Solution

Government-wide statements put together financial activities in one location and provide information on accrual-based economic resources. Government-wide statements shall coordinate information whether it applies to government activities or business-type operations. The Government-wide reports consist of a statement of net position and a statement of activities. The statement of net position portrays the local government as a single economic entity rather than a collection of different funds.

Statement of activities is the statement which lists the government revenues and expenses and, in some instances, the difference to show the balance between them. It is practically a running effectively regarding the government's financial condition.

The Statement of Activities presents the reporting government operations in two parts:

• The net expense or revenue of each governmental function
• General revenues
