Question

The City of Williamsport maintains its books in order to prepare fund accounting statements and prepares worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide financial statements.

General fixed assets, as of the beginning of the year, which had not been recorded, were as follows:

Land	$45,500,000
Buildings	540,000,000
Improvements other than buildings	107,500,000
Equipment	175,000,000
Accumulated depreciation: capital assets	175,300,000

During the year, expenditures for capital outlays amounted to $12,350,000. Of that amount, $8,100,000 was for buildings; $1,500,000 was for improvements other than buildings; and the remainder was for land.

The capital outlay expenditures outlined in (B) were completed at the end of the year (no depreciation until next year). For purposes of financial-statement presentation, all capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method, with no estimated salvage value. Estimated lives are as follows: buildings, 50 years; improvements other than buildings, 20 years; and equipment, 10 years.

Equipment with a cost of $70,000 and accumulated depreciation at the time of sale of $17,000 was sold for $45,000.

In the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances, the city reported proceeds from the sale of land in the amount of $600,000. The land originally cost $535,000.
