Explanation of Solution

Government-wide financial statements: These are the financial statements that report the government’s net position and changes in net position. These statements report the governmental activities, business-type activities, and the activities related to proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. These statements are prepared based on the accrual accounting. The two government-wide financial statements are Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities.

The government-wide financial statement will disclose the following information:

  • The fires station shall be reported under buildings under the governmental activities column, in the statement of net position.
  • The police station will be reported as construction work in progress under the capital assets section in the statement of net position.
  • The depreciation if applicable in the first year, will be shown under the governmental activities column, in the statement of activities.
