The Two Forms

There are two forms that are completed, one for the CAFR Review Report Form and the other for the Economic Impact Analysis.

[NOTE: In The CAFR eBook both forms are provided and explained in browser format, spread sheet format and word processing format.]


THE CAFR REVIEW REPORT

If the CAFR Review Form is completed here is what your report will look like. We have rearranged the data so that the report covers these four major categories:

Per Capita and Family of 4

The population within the jurisdiction of the government divided into the $5.40 billion provides the per capita surpluses.

For the State and many school districts, cities, and counties are contained in the Statistical Section of the CAFR.

The problem lies with the counties. You want to use the unincorporated population, not the total population. You may have to contact the county or other organization in order to find out the unincorporated population.

For example. If the above State has a population of 2,500,000 then the per capita surpluses are $2,160 (5,400,611 divided by 2,500,000 times 1,000). Remember the above surplus number is in thousands.

Many school districts, cities and counties provide their data in actual dollars and not in thousands of dollars. You will have to see from the CAFR what the numbering system they are using.

For a family of four the surpluses are $2,160 times 4 or $8,640.


THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT

The economic impact analysis discussion was presented earlier. In fact an example of the report was also shown and explained. This part only deals with the report itself.

Here is an example of the report with columns and rows shown for better understanding of the formulas used in the computations. The formulas use "/" for divide and "*" for multiply. The formulas are also designated by column (A thru E) and row (1 thru 10).
