1. Education reported net expenses of $766,000.
2. Parks reported net expenses of $163,000.
3. Art museum reported net revenues of $58,250.
4. General government revenues for the year were $1,069,750 with an overall increase in the city's net position of $199,000.

The fund financial statements indicated the following for the entire year:

The CPA firm of Abernethy and Chapman has been asked to review several transactions that occurred during 2017 and indicate how to correct any erroneous reporting and the impact of each error. View each of the following situations as independent.

During 2017, the City of Coyote contracted to build a bus stop for schoolchildren costing $19,200 as a special assessments project for which it collected $19,200 from affected citizens. The government had no obligation in connection with this project. Both a $19,200 revenue and a $19,200 expenditure were recorded in the capital projects fund. In preparing government-wide financial statements, an asset and a general revenue were recorded for $19,200.

1. In the general information above, the capital projects fund reported a $45,750 increase in its fund balance for this year. What was the correct change in the capital projects fund's balance during 2017?
2. In the general information, a $199,000 overall increase in the city's net position was found on the government-wide financial statements. What was the correct overall change in the city's net position on the government-wide financial statements?
