| Form 990, Part XI, Line 8 | The MVFD adopted a fixed asset policy that provides for capitalization thresholds for assets purchased by the MVFD. Certain assets previously reported as Equipment, such as bunker gear, air packs, and equipment on trucks, are no longer considered fixed assets for financial accounting purposes. The minimum cost for capitalization is now $5,000 per individual item. The assets previously reported were items or sets of items composed of separate components that cost less than $5,000. For example, equipment used to outfit trucks cost in excess of $5,000 per truck, but the individual items, such as hoses, nozzles, ladders, chains, etc., individually cost less than $5,000 per item. Additionally, there were two fixed assets that were expensed when originally purchased that should have been capitalized at time of purchase. The effect of these items on opening fund balance were as follows: Previously capitalized assets falling below threshold: Cost $190,121 - Accumulated Depreciation of $180,901 = $9,220 decrease in fund balance. Assets not previously capitalized: Cost $17,181 - Accumulated Depreciation through 6/30/19 of $10,738 = $6,443 increase in fund balance. Total effect on fund balance $9,220 decrease + $6,443 increase = net decrease of $2,777 in beginning fund balance. |
