If the overall increase in net assets remains the same at $154,000 then the program revenues and expenses were not included in the final figures for the government-wide financial statements. These two items were presented individually but should have blended with the total amount.

If these two figures were combined with the overall increase in net assets, the new figure would surmount to $137,600. This causes a decrease of $16,400 in net assets.

Net Assets = 154,000 + 47,600 - 64,000 = $137,600

Decrease amount = 154,000 - 137,600 = $16,400
