, Solutions to Questions
1-1 The student response should include consideration of the three differences the FASB has
identified that distinguish governments and not-for-profits from business organizations.
These are:
• Receiving significant amounts of resources from people and organizations that do not
expect to receive repayment or goods and services that are proportionate to the
resources they have provided.
• Operating for reasons other than to provide goods and/or services at a profit or a profit
equivalent.
• An absence of defined ownership that can be sold, transferred, or redeemed.
Additional reflection by the student could relate to the GASB defining a government as
one in which the power resides with the people through their elected officials.
