    How to approach this question

    Under GASB, identify true revenues (taxes, grants for operations, fees) versus other financing sources (bond proceeds, transfers). Only revenues increase fund balance through the revenue recognition process.

    Full Answer

    B.$2,900,000✓ Correct
    $2,900,000
    Under GASB standards, governmental fund revenues include taxes, intergovernmental grants for operations, and fees. Bond proceeds are classified as 'other financing sources' rather than revenues. Transfers between funds are neither revenues nor expenditures but are reported separately.

    Common mistakes

    Including bond proceeds as revenue, including transfers as revenue, or omitting legitimate revenue sources like grants
