Explanation of Solution

Primary Government: As per GASB “a primary government is a state government or general purpose government. Primary government can also be treated as special purpose government that has a separate elected governing body, is legally separate and is fiscally independent of other state or local governments”.

A special purpose government can be a fiscally independent organization by having authority to decide the budget, levy its own taxes, set rates or charges, and issue bonded debt without approval of another government.
