Problems – Chapter 15

Problem 1 – Reporting Entity

A city has three related entities. Its finance and accounting staff is trying to determine which, if

any, of those entities must be included in the city reporting entity. Also, for the entities that are

included the staff must determine whether they are to be blended or discretely presented.

Explain how each of the related entities should be treated and why.

Situations:

1. The first entity is the city school district. The district has a separately elected board and

is legally separate from the city. The school board can establish its own budget except

that its property tax levy must be approved by the city council. The city does not

guarantee the debt of the schools or have any other authority over the school district.

2. The second entity is the municipal gas utility. The city appoints the seven members of

the utility governing board and can remove them at will. The city must approve the

budget and the rate structure of the utility. The utility cannot issue bonded debt without

the city council’s prior approval. The city is entitled to, and regularly receives, the

operating surpluses of the utility.

3. The third entity is the City Library Commission. According to the commission’s charter,

the commission board consists of the city mayor, the city finance director, and the

superintendent of the city schools, and two other members of city council besides the

mayor. City council consists of the mayor and four other council members. The library

commission budget must be approved by the city council, and all long-term debt issued

by the Library Commission is to be repaid by the city.

2. Since the city appoints all members of the governing board and can remove them at will,

3. The library commission is a component unit of the city because the city has substantive

Problem 2 – Discrete Presentation v. Blending

that a government has five major discretely presented component units. Include the

reporting and disclosures required for each of the major component units.

2. Describe blending. When is it required? Is it permitted under other circumstances—i.e.,

when is it not required?

Answers:

1. Discretely presented component units are presented in the government-wide financial

2. Blending means that a component unit is being reported in substantially the same manner
