The following summarizes the history of the Sharp City Recreation Center.
1. In Year l , the city constructed the building at a cost of $1,500,000. Of this amount, $1,000,000 was financed with bonds and the balance from unrestricted city funds.
2. In the 10 years from Year 1 through Year 10, the city recorded depreciation (as appropriate) based on an estimated useful life of 30 years.
3. In the same period, the city repaid $750,000 of the bonds.

4 . In Year 12, the city renovated the building at a cost of $3,000,000. The entire amount was financed with unrestricted city funds. The renovation was expected to extend the useful life of the building so that it would last a total of 25 more years-that is, until Year 37.
5. In the 15 years from Year 12 through Year 27, the city recorded depreciation (as appropriate). Depreciation was calculated by dividing the undepreciated balance of the original cost, plus the costs of renovation, over the anticipated remaining life of 25 years.
6. In the same period, the city repaid the $250,000 balance of the debt.
7. In Year 28, the city demolished the building so that the land on which it is situated could be converted into softball fields.
Prepare the journal entries to summarize the history of the building as it would be reported in the city's government-wide statements.
