$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance of}\\ \text{Net investment}\\ \text{in capital assets }\end{array}\}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Land}+\text{Buildings}\\ +\text{Machinery and equipment}\\ +\text{Purchases}\end{array}\right)-\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Allowance for depreciation}\\ \text{ on building}\end{array}\right)\\ +\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Allowance for depreciation}\\ \text{ on equipment}\end{array}\right)\\ +\text{Bonds payable}\end{array}\right]\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\$1,780,945\\ +\$5,214,407\\ +\$8,488,395\\ +\$583,425\end{array}\right)-\left[\$240,053+\$360,079+\$11,600,000\right]\\ =\$16,067,172-\$12,200,132\\ =\$3,867,040\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the amount of increase in the “net investments in capital assets”.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Increase in net investments}\\ \text{ in capital assets}\end{array})\text{ = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Ending balance of net investments in capital assets }\\ –\text{ Beginning balance of net investments in capital assets}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$3,867,040-\$3,483,747\\ =\$383,293\end{array}$

b.

To determine

Prepare a “statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position” for Central Station Fund.

Explanation of Solution

Statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position: Statement of activities is the operating statement that reports revenues, expenses, and changes in net position during the year.

Prepare a “statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position” for Water utility fund:

Table (20)

Notes to the above table:

Determine the amount of net position-opening.

Before the fiscal year adjustment, the amount of unrestricted net position is $2,029,380 and the net position of “net investment is capital assets” calculated above is $3,483,747. Hence, the total net position-Opening is $5,513,127$\left(\$3,483,747+\$2,029,380\right)$.

(c)

To determine

Prepare a “statement of net position” for Water Utility Fund.

Explanation of Solution

Statement of net position: Statement of financial position is a balance sheet that reports the assets, deferred outflow of resources, liabilities, deferred inflow of resources and the residual amount or net position of the government at the end of the fiscal year.

Prepare a “statement of net position” for Water Utility Fund.

Table (21)

Notes to the above table:

• Determine the closing balance of cash account.

Table (22)

• Determine the closing balance of accounts receivable.

Table (23)

• Determine the closing balance of accrued utility revenue.

Table (24)

• Determine the closing balance of “due from general fund”.

Table (26)

• Determine the closing balance of customer deposits.

Table (27)

• Determine the net position of unrestricted assets as on June 30, 2020.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Unrestricted net position}=\text{Total net position}-\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{net position of "net investment}\\ \text{in capital assets"}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$5,879,189-\$3,867,040\\ =\$2,012,149\end{array}$

(d)

To determine

Prepare “a statement of cash flows” for water Utility Fund.

Explanation of Solution

Statement of cash flows: Statement of cash flow is a financial statement that shows the cash and cash equivalents of a company for a particular period of time. It shows the net changes in cash, by reporting the sources and uses of cash as a result of operating, investing, and financing activities of a company.

Prepare “a statement of cash flows” for water Utility Fund.

Step 1: Prepare the reconciliation statement to reconcile the operating loss with the “net cash used for operating activities”.

Table (28)

Notes to the above table:

• Determine the increase in accounts payable.

The opening balance of accounts payable is $532,047 and the closing balance of accounts payable is $814,199. Hence, the accounts payable is increased by $282,152$\left(\$814,199-\$532,047\right)$.

• Determine the increase in “due from general fund”.

The opening balance of “due from general fund” is $29,311 and the closing balance of “due from general fund” is $13,646. Hence, the “due from general fund” is decreased by $15,665$\left(\$13,646-\$29,311\right)$.

• Determine the balance in provision for uncollectible account.

Table (29)

• Determine the increase in uncollectible.

The opening balance of uncollectible is $13,367 and the closing balance of uncollectible is $18,267. Hence, the uncollectible is increased by $4,900$\left(\$18,267-\$13,367\right)$.

• Determine the increase in accounts receivable.

The opening balance of accounts receivable is $306,869. The closing balance of accounts receivable is $361,690. The written off portion of accounts receivable is $10,013. So, the net closing balance of accounts receivable is $351,677$\left(361,690-\$10,013\right)$. Hence, the accounts receivable is increased by $44,808$\left(\$351,677-\$306,869\right)$.

• Determine the increase in accrued utility revenue.

The opening balance of accrued utility revenue is $500,000 and the closing balance of accrued utility revenue is $700,000. Hence, the accrued utility revenue is increased by $200,000$\left(\$700,000-\$500,000\right)$.

Step 2: Prepare “a statement of cash flows”.
