Springtown started operations in January, 2020. This information is for the town's first year of legal existence.

The Town Council adopted a General fund budget for the year which included estimated revenues of $1,900,000, estimated other financing sources of $440,000, and appropriations of $2,100,000.

The town ordered one pick-up truck at an anticipated cost of $65,000 and recorded the commitment.

Supplies for the town Manager's office were purchased for $62,000 on account. You may use either the purchases or the consumption method.

Property tax bills were mailed to all property owners. The total assessment is $1,200,000, although officials anticipate that 5% will never be collected. There is a legal claim to this money and the government can use it immediately.

A local artist donated a sculpture for the town Hall valued at $29,000 to be displayed in the Town Hall lobby. The town decided not to capitalize or depreciate this asset.

The vehicle ordered in item (3) above was received at an actual cost of $66,000 to be paid at a later time. The vehicle has an expected life of 3 years and no salvage value. When the town records depreciation, it uses the straight-line method and recognizes a full year of depreciation in the year of purchase.

At year-end, $8,000 of the supplies purchased in item (2) were still in the town Manager's office.

On January 1, the town's Public Works Department created a landfill on land already owned and used 10% of the capacity in the first year. If closed now, closure costs would be $900,000. The town pays $60,000 of the closure costs each year.

Salaries of $52,000 for the Police Department are due one month after the end of the year.

At the end of the year, the budget was removed from the town's records.
