Explanation:
The "pass back" is a step in the federal budget process during which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) communicates to federal agencies what parts of their budget requests it has approved or rejected. It precedes the preparation of the President’s Budget and gives agencies a chance to appeal decisions before final submission.
Other options:
Allotment: An internal division of an appropriation.
Rescission: A cancellation of budget authority.
Apportionment: OMB’s formal distribution of funds over time, typically quarterly.

Explanation:
Under the cost recovery method, revenue is recognized only as costs are recovered. In the context of insurance or risk-financing activities (such as self-insurance), GASB and FASAB require that premium revenues be recognized over the term of the policy, in proportion to the recognition of related costs (e.g., claims incurred).
This aligns revenue with expenses and ensures no profit is recognized before related obligations are met.

According to GASB Statement No. 18 (Accounting for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs), governments must recognize a portion of closure and post-closure costs each year as the landfill’s capacity is used.
This is done using the "units-of-consumption" method, meaning costs are accrued in proportion to how much of the landfill's total capacity has been filled. The total estimated cost is spread over the useful life of the landfill.

Explanation:
The governmental fund category is used to account for the core services of a government that are primarily supported by taxes and other non-exchange revenues. These services include public safety, education, health, transportation, and social services. It includes the general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, debt service funds, and permanent funds.
While option D (general fund) is technically a fund within the governmental category, the broader and more accurate classification is "governmental."

Answer B. governmental
정답:
Explanation:
The governmental funds (e.g., general fund, special revenue fund, capital projects fund) are reported using the modified accrual basis and current financial resources measurement focus. Required financial statements for governmental funds include:
Balance Sheet
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances
There is no requirement for a statement of cash flows for governmental funds. The statement of cash flows is only required for proprietary funds (e.g., enterprise and internal service funds) and is prepared using the direct method.

정답:
Explanation:
Serial bonds mature in installments over the life of the bond (e.g., every year or every few years). This structure allows the cost of repaying the debt to align more closely with the periods in which the capital asset is used ― achieving intergenerational equity by spreading the cost over the same span as the asset’s useful life.
Term bonds, zero-coupon bonds, and pay-as-you-go do not align costs with benefits across multiple
years in the same way.

Explanation:
Research and development (R&D) costs are generally expensed when incurred. However, capitalization may occur only if the asset has an "alternative future use." This means it can be used in other projects or for other purposes beyond the specific R&D effort.
This principle aligns with both federal and private-sector accounting under FASAB and FASB standards.

Answer D. have alternative future use
정답:
Explanation:
The agency uses accrual accounting, meaning bad debt expense should be recognized based on the revenue earned, not the cash collected. The historical bad debt rate is 5%.
Fee revenue recorded = $1.1 million
Bad debt expense = 5% × $1,100,000 = $55,000
This matches the standard accounting treatment under FASAB SFFAS No. 1, where the expense is estimated and recognized in the same period as the related revenue.

The Government Management Reform Act (GMRA) of 1994 amended the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 to require each executive agency to prepare and submit audited financial statements covering all accounts and associated activities.
This extended the audit requirement beyond the pilot CFO agencies and laid the groundwork for the Financial Report of the U.S. Government.

Interperiod (or intergenerational) equity is the concept that current-year revenues should be sufficient to pay for current-year services, so that future taxpayers are not burdened with today's costs.
GASB incorporates interperiod equity as a core principle when developing financial reporting standards, especially to evaluate whether financial reporting helps users assess if the government is living within its means.

Explanation:
When a private bank issues a student loan that is insured by the government in case of default, the federal government is acting as a guarantor―not issuing the loan directly, but promising repayment to the lender if the borrower defaults. This is a classic example of a federal loan guarantee program.
Loan guarantees are off-budget unless called, and the government only incurs a liability if the student defaults.

A contingent liability is a potential obligation that may arise depending on the outcome of a future event. A building containing asbestos represents a situation where a liability may be incurred if the asbestos must be removed due to safety regulations, public health concerns, or legal requirements.
Unlike realized losses (e.g., from asset sales or impairments), contingent liabilities depend on future events and uncertainty.

Explanation:
When a federal entity pays off a payable:
Budgetary accounting moves the status of the obligation from unpaid to paid
Proprietary accounting reduces the payable and cash (Fund Balance with Treasury)
The correct journal entry is:
Budgetary:
Debit Delivered Orders C Obligations, Unpaid
Credit Delivered Orders C Obligations, Paid
Proprietary:
Debit Accounts Payable
Credit Fund Balance with Treasury
This reflects the transition from an unpaid liability to a disbursed payment, complying with federal financial reporting.

Explanation:
This is the point when a proprietary entry and a budgetary entry must both be recorded:
Proprietary entry: To record the asset (e.g., equipment) and recognize the payable
Budgetary entry: To move from unpaid obligation (Undelivered Orders) to paid obligation (Delivered Orders)
Receiving goods/services triggers both the accrual of the expense and the update of the obligation’s status in the budgetary accounts.

Explanation:
Despite differences in sector goals, all entities―public, private, nonprofit, or government―use financial reporting to provide information that assists stakeholders in making informed decisions.
While private-sector entities focus on profitability and governmental entities focus on accountability and stewardship, both require decision-useful financial data.
