PSAF – Mar/July 2020 – L2 – Q5 – Matanmi Local Government Council 2019 Budget Preparation

This question focuses on budgeting for overheads and road repairs by local governments and the characteristics of public goods.

Major towns and cities in Ibadan State, which is one of the states in the South West of the country, are maintained by local government councils, which are funded through allocations from the federation account, state accounts, and internally generated revenue.

Matanmi Local Government Council, one of the local government councils in Ibadan State, provides you with the following information as part of the 2019 budget preparation:

Overheads:
Overhead costs are budgeted on an incremental basis, taking the previous year’s actual expenditure and adding a set percentage to allow for inflation. Adjustments are also made for known changes. The details are:

Note 2: A move toward a paperless office is expected to reduce stationery costs by 20% in 2020.
