    proprietary funds do not use other financing sources/uses, and it isn't a payable/receivable because it's a transfer, not a payable/receivable. they're just called “transfers” or “operating transfers” for proprietary funds.

    general fund sends money to proprietary fund:

    DR Other Financing Uses

    CR Cash

    proprietary fund receives money:

    DR Cash

    CR Operating Transfer in

    transfers are not going to be paid back. if the problem had said it was going to be paid back, which would make it a loan, there would be a receivable and payable instead, which would be called “due from fund” if it was short-term or “advances to fund” if it was long term.

    Well here in my notes it says that there are 4 types of transfers, reimbursements and loans would have receivable and payable set up, I guess.

    Yeah, I suppose since proprietary funds are accrual based, there would be revenues, not sources. I just didn't expect questions be so particular.

    I also don't see anything like this in the example of the proprietary fund’s statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position after non-operating revenues and expenses. There is Capital contributions and Transfers out. Is it transfers out? What about IN? Hate it hate it hate it

    I have a question on fiduciary fund fin. statement.

    Roger's book says: statement will be prepared with columns for each major fiduciary fund and a total for all minor fiduciary funds.

    Gleim: Fiduciary fund financial statements include information about all fiduciary funds and similar component units. The statements report information in a separate column for each fund type but not by major fund.

    huh?

    Does anyone recommend a source for good practice exams? I've done Becker's practice finals in my first attempt and have done once more for my second go around, but not sure how reliable the score is since I've already seen the questions once 😛

    @Anjanja

    -Fund FS are presented separately for the Governmental, Proprietary, and Fiduciary fund categories. Each government has only ONE General Fund; each other fund type has any number of funds. Fixed assets and LT debt are NOT reported in the Fund F/S, only in Government-wide.

    -Focus is on major and non-major funds.

    -A separate column is required for each major fund, while all non-major funds are aggregated in a single column.

    @dcflcpa I've never done a practice exam for any of mine… maybe just do a 90 minute MCQ session and give yourself 2 hours. Then do 8 SIM session and give yourself like 1.5 hours??

    On January 2, year 4, Raft Corp. discovered that it had incorrectly expensed a $210,000 machine purchased on January 2, year 1. Raft estimated the machine’s original useful life to be 10 years and its salvage value at $10,000. Raft uses the straight-line method of depreciation and is subject to a 30% tax rate. In its December 31, year 4 financial statements, what amount should Raft report as a prior period adjustment?

    I know the adjustment will be 210K-60=150K X 1-30=105K but how do you adjust the asset? What will be the JE including the prior period ajdjustment.

    DR Machine 210K

    CR A depreciation 60

    R/E 150

    This is how the real exam gets you. You are used to answering questions like the one above, and you think you know them cause you got the answer right, and then the simulations wants you to do the whole JE.

    samdiegoCPA,

    so… is Gleim wrong or Roger or what? I still don't understand what the right answer should be. What would you answer?

    Copy and paste from Wiley book.

    The fund fi nancial statement s for the governmental and enterprise fund categories report major funds , not all

    funds. The general fund is always a major fund. Other funds must be considered major when both of the following

    conditions exist: (1) total assets, liabilities, deferred infl ows and outfl ows, revenues, expenditures/expenses of that

    individual governmental or enterprise fund constitute 10% of the governmental or enterprise category and (2)

    total assets, liabilities, deferred infl ows and outfl ows, revenues, expenditures/expenses are 5% of the total of the

    governmental and enterprise category combined. In addition, a government may choose to call any fund major if

    it feels that reporting that fund would be useful.1 In governmental and enterprise fund statements, the nonmajor

    funds are aggregated and reported as a single column. Combining statements for nonmajor funds are shown as

    “Other supplementary information” later in the fi nancial section of CAFR. Internal service funds are reported in a

    single column on the proprietary fund statements.

    Fiduciary fund fi nancial statements report a separate column for fund type (agency, pension and other

    employee benefi t trust, investment trust, and private purpose). If separate reports are not available for each pension

    trust fund, then the notes must disclose this information. If separate reports are available, then the notes must

    disclose how readers can obtain those reports.

    Gian, I'll try

    D Asset 210000

    C Accum depr 60000

    C RE 105000

    C Tax payable 45000

    I am not sure about tax payable, should there be tax expense? How would it balance? I had a link to JE's and actually posted it somewhere in this topic but can't find it now

    I have completed my Becker review and I have to say I am still having a hard time with the MCQ and Sims. I don't know if my brain is just on overload but it is like I am having a hard time retaining the information. My test is in less than a month. I just purchased the Ninja MCQ and the few that I have done I do feel better about things. They don't seem to be as wordy. Are the Ninja MCQ's any easier than the Becker or would it be better for me to just continue with the Becker MCQ's?

    I am just a little overwhelmed right now and any guidance is appreciated.

    Thanks so much

    and this is from gasb.org

    Each of the fund statements should report separate columns for the general fund and for other major governmental and enterprise funds. Major funds are funds whose revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets, or liabilities (excluding extraordinary items) are at least 10 percent of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5 percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds. Any other fund may be reported as a major fund if the government's officials believe that fund is particularly important to financial statement users. Non major funds should be reported in the aggregate in a separate column. Internal service funds also should be reported in the aggregate in a separate column on the proprietary fund statements.

    So I guess gleim is wrong? I can't believe I am still not sure after all this stuff I read
