The following information pertains to the City of Williamson for 2017, its first year of legal existence. For convenience, assume that all transactions are for the general fund, which has three separate functions: general government, public safety, and health and sanitation.

Charges for general government services 5,000

Charges for public safety services 3,000

Compensated absences (such as vacations and sick days) legally owed to general government workers at year-end total $13,000. These amounts will not be taken by the employees until so late in 2018 that the payment is not viewed as requiring 2017 current financial resources.

The city received a piece of art this year as a donation. It is valued at $14,000. It will be used for general government purposes. There are no eligibility requirements. The city chose not to capitalize this property.

The general government uses the storage shed that was acquired this year. It is being depreciated over 10 years using the straight-line method with no salvage value. The city uses the equipment for health and sanitation and depreciates it using the straight-line method over five years with no salvage value.

The investments are valued at $103,000 at the end of the year.

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