1、CHAPTER 17 ACCOUNTING FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS(PART TWO)Chapter OutlineThis chapter looks at the reporting for a number of significant transactions that are common for state and local governments. For example, these entities often obtain property by lease rather than by purchase.A. Leases are

2、 recorded as either capital leases or operating leases based upon the criteria first established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for the reporting of for-profit businesses. Thus, a lease that meets any one of the following criteria is a capital lease for either a state or local go

3、vernment or a for-profit business.a. The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term.b. The lease contains an option to purchase the leased property at a bargain price.c. The lease term is equal to or greater than 75 percent of the economic life of the leased

4、 property.d. The present value of minimum lease payments equals or exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property.B. For a state or local government, the recording of a capital lease depends on the set of financial statements being prepared.a. In government-wide financial statements, a

5、capital lease is reported as an asset and liability at the present value of the minimum leases payments and then depreciation expense (of the assefs cost) and interest expense (on the liability balance) are recognized over time.b. In fund financial statements for the governmental funds, the present

6、value of the minimum lease payments is recorded as an expenditure and as an other financing source. Eventual interest and principal payments are recorded as expenditures. No depreciation is reported because capital assets are not recognized in the governmental funds.I. Governments often establish so

7、lid waste landfills for use by the citizens and businesses. These facilities can be recorded either within the proprietary funds, if a user fee is assessed, or as part of the General Fund if the landfill is open to the public without a charge.A. A landfill can eventually create a large liability for

8、 a government because of closure costs and postclosure maintenance and monitoring.B. On government-wide financial statements, recognition of this liability is based on accrual accounting and the economic resource measurement focus. Thus, the liability is recognized proportionally as the available sp

9、ace becomes filled. If the landfill is recorded as an Enterprise Fund, this same reporting is also appropriate for fund financial statements.C. If the landfill is reported within the General Fund, a liability is only reported on the fund statements when a claim to current financial resources comes i

10、nto existence.II. Many state and local government entities have defined benefit pension plans for their employees such as school teachers and police officers. Pension trust funds are often setc. Expenditures.d. Other financing sources and uses.e. Special items.f. A reconciliation between the ending

11、change in fund balances and the ending change in net position for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.20. Program revenues are those revenues derived from a specific program (such as parks and recreation) or from outsiders seeking to contribute to the cost of that fun

12、ction. They include charges rendered for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions.General revenues are those from the population as a whole including property taxes, sales taxes, unrestricted grants, and investment income. They are not traced to any individu

13、al program, activity, or function.This distinction is important because program revenues are matched with expenses for each activity providing a net expense or net revenue figure to disclose the cost or the benefit of providing that activity.21. The net expense or net revenue format allows the reade

14、rs of a governments financial statements to determine the relative financial burden (or benefit) that each of its reporting functions has on its taxpayers. In other words, the users of the statement can determine what it costs for the government to provide benefits such as public safety or library.2

15、2. On government-wide financial statements, internal service funds are combined with the governmental activities (or business-type activities if that connection is more appropriate). Their placement is based on the identity of the functions that they primarily serve. If an internal service fund is m

16、ainly used to assist one or more governmental funds, then it should be included with the governmental activities.23. A combination is viewed as a merger if two legally separate entities are brought together to form a new entity and no significant consideration is exchanged. A merger is also formed i

17、f one of those entities ceases to exist while the other continues. In a merger, the net carrying values for all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are combined. No additional account balances are recognized. However, in an acquisition, a significan

18、t amount of consideration is exchanged. For government-wide financial statements, the acquiring government records all of the acquired assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (other than a few specific exceptions such as landfills) at acquisition value.

19、 Acquisition value is the market-based entry pricethe amount that would have to be paid to acquire or discharge each item at this time. Any excess consideration is reported as a deferred outflow of resources on the statement of net position. This balance is written off to expense over a period of ti

20、me that is determined based on several factors including the service life of capital assets, technology, and contracts acquired. When an acquisition takes place, fund financial statements record all of the acquired current financial resources and claims against those resources at acquisition value.2

21、4. In for-profit accounting, excess consideration paid in an acquisition is reported as goodwill and then tested periodically for impairment. For a state or local government, excess consideration paid in an acquisition is not reported on the statement of net position as an asset but rather as a defe

22、rred outflow of resources. That balance is then allocated toexpense over a period of time determined by an examination of several factors such as the service life of capital assets and technology.25. From an external reporting perspective, FASB sets accounting standards for private colleges and univ

23、ersities whereas GASB sets standards for public schools. Operationally, public schools receive signficant funding from the government (usually a state government). Private universities rely more on tuition charges and endowment income. Because of the ability to generate funding from the government,

24、public colleges and universities generally have smaller endowments.26. Many public colleges and universities make the assumption that they are solely an Enterprise Fund because they are open to the public but have a user charge (tuition and other fees). An Enterprise Fund is a proprietary fund. For

25、proprietary funds, governmentwide financial statements and fund financial statements are quite similar. Consequently, authoritative guidelines allow such schools to produce only fund financial statements and avoid the redundancy of also creating government-wide statements.Answers to ProblemsA (Both

26、the asset and liability are reported at the present value of the minimum lease payments.)1. D (Record $49,000 in expenditures on the first day of the capital lease and then $70,000 more in the form of payments made over the life of the lease)B (Only the amount of the initially reported liability is

27、identified as an other financing source)2. D (Interest is the $69,000 balance times 10 percent.)A (At this time, there is no claim to current financial resources.)3. DC (The liability must be increased from 8 percent of $1 million to 19 percent. The 11 percent jump is recorded as expense.)4. C (Same

28、 handling as in 7)A (The landfill creates no claim to current financial resources)5. B (The present value of the pension payments that have been earned to date is $49.8 million. The net position of the pension trust fund is $32.7 million. Thus, the $17.1 million difference is the net pensionliabilit

29、y.)6. D (Changes in the amount of the pension liability that are necessary because of a change in economic or demographic assumptions are not expensed immediately. Instead, those amounts are recorded as either deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources and amortized to pension e
