The City of Duluth teamed with a professional football franchise to offer one day “Learn to Play Football” clinics for kids during the summer. The City provided the Town Green as a location, and the franchise covered all costs.

1,500 kids registered for the Duluth clinics during 2018. The franchise contributed upfront $100 per registered child to the city to cover expenses. Each child attending received a replica jersey of the team.

The city also had a four-year loan from the bank for $24,000 at a 7% interest rate.

Cash disbursements occurred for wages of clinic workers and on-site medical staff in the amount of $31,000, advertising and promotional items $40,000, payroll taxes $9,300, insurance $10,000, equipment rentals $12,800, interest on banknote paid semi-annually $840, landscaping repairs and clean up services $6,700, refreshments, $20,400, and parking for volunteers $2,300. All disbursements occurred at year end except $5,000 of wages and $1,500 of payroll taxes.

please help with this needing mainly 2 & 3 if any input on the first would be helpful to thanks!

Answer 1

Ans. The GASB mandates the direct method, which requires that operating cash flows be reported by type of flow, and the presentation of a reconciliation of operating cash to operating income as reported on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets.

However, the FASB requires that a statement of cash flows classify cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category.
