General government activities use the storage shed that was acquired this year. It is depreciated over a 10-year period using the straight-line method with no residual value. The city uses the equipment for health and sanitation and depreciates it using the straight-line method over five years with no residual value.

The investments are valued at $132,100 at the end of the year.

For the equipment that was ordered but not yet received, the City Council (the highest decision-making body in the government) voted to honor the commitment when the equipment eventually arrives.
