Problem 17-4 (LO 2) Reporting entities. Based on the following very limited informa- tion, indicate whether and how the city should report its related entity. 1.    Its school district, although not a legally separate government, is managed by a school board elected by city residents. The system is financed with general tax revenues of the city, and its budget is incorporated into that of the city at large (and thereby is subject to the same approval and appropriation process as other city expenditures). 2.    Its fixed asset financing authority is a legally separate government that leases equipment to the city. To finance the equipment, the authority issues bonds that are guaranteed by the city and expected to be paid from the rents received from the city. The authority leases equip- ment exclusively to the city. 3.    Its housing authority, which provides loans to low-income families within the city, is gov- erned by a 5-person board appointed by the city’s mayor. 4.    Its hospital is owned by the city but managed under contract by a private hospital manage- ment firm. 5.    Its water purification plant is owned in equal shares by the city and two neighboring counties. The city’s interest in the plant was acquired with resources from its water utility (enterprise) fund. 6.    Its community college, a separate legal entity, is governed by a board of governors elected by city residents and has its own taxing and budgetary authority.
