Ciara Ingram · Answer 1

Increase of $500,000

Explanation:

For computing the change in fund balance first we have to compute the depreciation expense which is shown below:

= ($110,000,000 - $20,000,000) : 20 years

= $4,500,000

And, the capital outlay amount is $5,000,000

So, the change in fund is

= $5,000,000 - $4,500,000

= $500,000

This amount reflect in increase in net position

Increase of $500,000

Explanation:

Depreciation expense: ($110,000,000 - $20,000,000) / 20 years

Capital outlay expenditures $5,000,000

Less Depreciation expense $4,500,000

Increase $500,000

Therefore the Net Position would reflect a (an) Increase $500,000
