Chapter 7 Practice

Washington City created an Information Technology department in 2013 to centralize information technology (IT) functions for the city. The goal of the department was to reduce costs, avoid duplication of efforts, and provide up-to-date technology to all of the citys operations. The fund was designed to be self-supporting; that is, all costs are to be recovered through user fees, but any excess of fees over expenses should be less than 5%. The pre-closing trial balance for the IT department as of December 31, 2017 is shown below.
