City of Brookdale City Museum of Science Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets For the Year Ended December 2012

The problem involves preparing a comprehensive statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets for the City of Brookdale City Museum of Science based on the provided cash basis data and additional information. The goal is to convert cash basis figures into accrual accounting figures following standard governmental and nonprofit accounting principles, which include recognizing revenues when earned and expenses when incurred, along with depreciation calculations, adjustments for supplies on hand, and interest accruals.

Paper For Above instruction

The City of Brookdale City Museum of Science, as a component unit of the City of Glass City, prepares its financial statements on an accrual basis, necessitating adjustments to the cash basis data initially provided. This paper presents the calculation of the museum’s Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, incorporating systematic adjustments for depreciation, accrued interest, supplies on hand, and revenue recognition.

Introduction

The City Museum of Science began operations on January 1, 2012, with initial assets totaling $8,000 in cash and land acquired for $10,000, and no liabilities or commitments. The data provided includes cash receipts and disbursements, with additional details on loans, assets, and depreciation methods. Since the financial reporting is on an accrual basis, adjustments are necessary from cash basis data to accrue revenue and expenses properly, reflecting the museum's economic activities during 2012.

Revenues

Operating revenues primarily consist of admission fees totaling $330,000, which are recognized on an accrual basis as earned during 2012. Cash dividends received from stock investments of $3,500 are also accrued. Loan proceeds from the bank, totaling $60,000, are not revenues but financing activities, thus excluded from operating revenues. Therefore, total operating revenues amount to $333,500.

Expenses

Operational expenses include wages, supplies, utilities, depreciation on equipment and fixtures, and interest on the bank loan. Since the expenses are paid within the year, and the accrual basis requires recording expenses when incurred, adjustments must be made for supplies on hand and depreciation for equipment and fixtures.

Supplies

Supplies purchased amounting to $74,000 are adjusted for supplies on hand: ending supplies on December 31, 2012, are $6,200. Therefore, supplies used during the year are calculated as:

• Supplies used = $74,000 - $6,200 = $67,800

Depreciation

Equipment acquired on April 1, 2012, costing $80,000, has an estimated useful life of 10 years. Using straight-line depreciation, annual depreciation equals:

• Depreciation per year = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Since the equipment was purchased on April 1, 2012, depreciation for 9 months (April 1 to December 31) is:

• Depreciation = $8,000 * (9/12) = $6,000

Fixtures purchased on July 1, 2012, costing $40,000, with an estimated useful life of five years, using straight-line depreciation results in annual depreciation of:

• Depreciation per year = $40,000 / 5 = $8,000

For 6 months (July 1 to December 31), depreciation is:

• Depreciation = $8,000 * (6/12) = $4,000

Interest Expense

The loan from the bank at $60,000 bears 4% annual interest, paid semiannually on October 1 and April 1. The interest accrued for 2012 includes interest paid on October 1 and accrued interest from April 1 to December 31.

Interest paid on October 1, 2012, is for six months, so actual interest paid is:

• Interest = $60,000 4% (6/12) = $1,200

Interest accrued from April 1 to December 31 (9 months) totals:

• Interest accrued = $60,000 4% (9/12) = $1,800

Thus, total interest expense recognized on accrual basis is:

• Interest expense = interest paid (for first half) + accrued interest (second half) = $1,200 + $1,800 = $3,000

Summary of Adjustments and Calculations

• Revenues: $330,000 (admission fees) + $3,500 (dividends) = $333,500
• Supplies used: $67,800
• Depreciation: Equipment = $6,000; Fixtures = $4,000
• Interest expense: $3,000
• Other expenses (wages and utilities) are paid and thus recognized as incurred: wages $134,000, utilities $51,000

Constructed Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets

Using the above calculations, the statement is as follows:

Revenues

• Charges for Services: $330,000
• Dividends: $3,500
• Total Revenues: $333,500

Expenses

• Wages: $134,000
• Supplies used: $67,800
• Utilities: $51,000
• Depreciation - Equipment: $6,000
• Depreciation - Fixtures: $4,000
• Interest Expense: $3,000
• Total Expenses: $268,800

Change in Net Assets

Net assets fluctuate based on revenues minus expenses:

• Net increase = $333,500 - $268,800 = $64,700

Net Assets, January 1, 2012

Initially, the net assets equaled the starting asset values. Since the land was acquired for $10,000 and cash was $8,000, initial net assets are assumed to be $18,000 (assuming land is recorded at cost, no liabilities initially). Therefore, net assets, December 31, 2012, are:

• Initial net assets: $18,000
• Plus change: $64,700
• Ending net assets: $82,700

In conclusion, these computations effectively transform the cash basis data into an accrual basis statement, accurately reflecting the museum’s financial position and performance for 2012, considering all necessary adjustments as mandated by accounting standards for governmental entities.
