Answer to Question 1

a. Intragovernmental profit percentage included in ISF billings:
Intragovernmental profit =  30,000 / 120,000 = 25
Governmental program expenses after reduction for intragovernmental profit:

Expenditures Expenses
Fund-level 25 Government-
statement Reduction wide statement
General government.  60,000 15,000 45,000
Public safety 10,000 2,500 7,500
Social service 30,000 7,500 22,500
100,000 25,000 75,000

b. The ISF assets are brought into the government-wide statements by adding 200,000 to the governmental activity assets, with an offsetting credit to net position. The credit to reduce governmental expenditures for purposes of government-wide reporting is offset by a debit to net position.
