Compensated absences (such as vacations and sick days) legally owed to general government workers at year-end total $19,300. These amounts will not be taken by the employees until so late in 2021 that the payment is not viewed as requiring 2020 current financial resources.

The city received a piece of art this year as a donation. It is valued at $20,900. The city plans to use it for general government purposes. The gift has no eligibility requirements. The city chose not to capitalize this property.

General government activities use the storage shed that was acquired this year. It is depreciated over a 10-year period using the straight-line method with no residual value. The city uses the equipment for health and sanitation and depreciates it using the straight-line method over five years with no residual value.

The investments are valued at $126,900 at the end of the year.

For the equipment that was ordered but not yet received, the City Council (the highest decision-making body in the government) voted to honor the commitment when the equipment eventually arrives.

Required: Prepare a statement of net position for governmental activities in government-wide financial statements for December 31, 2020, and the year then ended.
