The city of Hammond opened a landfill at the beginning of Year 1, which is expected to take 10 years to fill. At the end of Year 1, the land full is 8% full and the estimated current closures costs are $150,000. At the end of Year 2, the landfill is currently 20% full and the estimated closure costs are $200,000. The city does not charge a fee to use the landfill and thus reports it in the general fund. What amount of expenditures should be reported in Year 2 in the fund-based financial statements in connection with the closure of the landfill?
Nothing is recorded for closure costs in the fund financial statements because no current economic resources were used for closing the landfill. A liability would be recorded in the government-wide statements because the focus in those statements is on both current and non-current resources.
