- Budget comparison involves actual vs approved budget.
3. **Step a) Statement of Revenue and Expenditure:**
- Revenue:
- Government of Ghana: 400,000,000
- Internally Generated Fund: 45,000,000 + 4,000,000 (receivable) = 49,000,000
- Total Revenue = 400,000,000 + 49,000,000 = 449,000,000
- Expenditure (adjusted):
- Compensation for employees: 100,000,000
- Goods and services: 80,000,000
- Other expenditures: 8,000,000
- Utilities outstanding: 3,000,000
- Depreciation:
- Equipment: 50,000,000 / 4 = 12,500,000
- Motor vehicle: 100,000,000 / 5 = 20,000,000
- Furniture: 80,000,000 / 4 = 20,000,000
- Total Depreciation = 12,500,000 + 20,000,000 + 20,000,000 = 52,500,000
- Total Expenditure = 100,000,000 + 80,000,000 + 8,000,000 + 3,000,000 + 52,500,000 = 243,500,000
- Surplus = Total Revenue - Total Expenditure = 449,000,000 - 243,500,000 = 205,500,000
4. **Step b) Statement of Financial Position:**
- Assets:
- Non-financial assets:
- Equipment: 50,000,000 - 12,500,000 = 37,500,000
- Motor vehicle: 100,000,000 - 20,000,000 = 80,000,000
- Furniture: 80,000,000 - 20,000,000 = 60,000,000
- Office supplies inventory: lower of cost 2,000,000 and replacement cost 1,800,000 = 1,800,000
- Fixed deposit: 2,000,000
- Advances: 10,000,000
- Cash and Bank: 8,000,000
- Internally generated revenue receivable: 4,000,000
- Total Assets = Sum of above = 37,500,000 + 80,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 1,800,000 + 2,000,000 + 10,000,000 + 8,000,000 + 4,000,000 = 203,300,000
- Liabilities:
- Payables: 29,000,000
- Loans: 30,000,000
- Utilities outstanding: 3,000,000
- Accumulated fund: 36,000,000
- Retained internally generated fund: 46,000,000
- Total Liabilities and Equity = 203,300,000 (balancing figure)
5. **Step c) Statement of Budget Information:**
- Revenue Budget:
- Government of Ghana: 400,000,000
- Internally Generated Fund: 45,000,000
- Total Budgeted Revenue = 445,000,000
- Actual Revenue = 449,000,000

- Expenditure Budget:
- Compensation of employees: 100,000,000
- Goods and services: 80,000,000
- Other expenditures: 5,000,000
