All working out needed please

You do not have an amount to come back to as the total of the governmental activities - government wide was not given

2) Your starting point is the total of all governmental funds fund balance

All possible reconciling items are not given here - keeping it simple- just the basicWhile there is an arithmetic calculation to be done, more important is that you grasp the

differences in accounting in governmental funds and accounting government wide in the governmental activities in the Balance Sheet government wide - Statement of Net Position or Statement of Net Assets that you may see elsewhere as in your text

that is the clarification I got.
