Entrepreneurs Consultants, a state agency, was estab- lished to provide consulting services to small businesses.

It purchased five computers at $2,000 each. 3. It paid wages and salaries of $6,000. 4. Itborrowed$24,000fromabanktoenableittopurchase an automobile. It gave the bank a long-term note. 5.

depreciation is to be charged on the computer that was destroyed.    THIS QUESTION IS SOLVED ALREADY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO RECONCILE THE CASH $ 83,800 AND THE FUND BALANCE $ 85,400. THE ANSWER IS ALREADY ON CHEGG SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AND JUST RECONCILE THE TWO AMOUNTS.

Answer 1

1. Calculation of Cash balance

Particulars	Amount
Grant Received	100,000
Less: Computers Purchased	(10,000)
Less: Wages & Salaries	(6,000)

1. Calculation of Fund balance

Particulars	Amount
Grant Received	100,000
Less: Wages & Salaries Paid	(6,000)
Add: Bank Loan	24,000
Less: Automobile Purchase	(24,000)
Less: Interest on note	(200)
Less: Net Value of Computers (NOTE)	(8,400)
Fund Balance	85,400

NOTE: Calculation of net value of assets

Computer Purchased = $10,000

Depreciation on computers = (4 x 2,000) / 5 years = $1,600

Net Value of computer = 10,000 - 1,600 = $8,400
