Here is what needs to be done.
1. Recast the balance sheets of the two funds into
a single consolidated balance sheet. Show separately,
however, the restricted and the unrestricted
portions of the consolidated fund
balance account (not each individual asset and
liability). Be sure to eliminate interfund payables
and receivables.
2. Which presentation (the unconsolidated or the
consolidated) providesmore complete information?
Explain. Which presentation might be
seen as misleading? Why? What advantages,
if any, do you see to the presentation that is less
complete and more misleading?
