1 [6-d-1] On January 2, 2019, the Street Improvement Bond Debt Service Fund (DS)
budget for 2019 was legally adopted. The budget provides for estimated property tax
revenue of $900,000, of which $250,000 will be invested to accumulate resources over
the next four years for the $1,000,000 principal that will be due for payment in 2019 for the
4% bonds. The remaining revenues are intended to pay $80,000 interest due during 2019 on
the 4% deferred serial bonds, as well as the $50,000 interest payment that will be due on
the 5% serial bonds on July 1, 2019. The 2019 property tax levy also provides resources
to retire the $200,000 of 5% serial bonds that mature on January 1, 2020, and interest of
$90,000 due on that date ($40,000 interest on the 4% deferred serial bonds and $50,000
on the 5% serial bonds). The budget also provides for estimated investment earnings of
$3,000 during 2019. No premium or accrued interest on bonds sold is included in the
2019 estimated other financing sources or estimated revenues. If the Street Improvement
Debt Service Fund (DS) does receive such items, they will be invested and used for eventual
bond redemption or interest payments, and the budget will be amended accordingly to
reflect such items.
Also, again, there are no principal payments due during 2019 and therefore should not be
budgeted for.
Required: Record the budget for FY 2019 in the general journals for the Street
Improvement Bond Debt Service Fund (DS). [As a reminder, you should make journal
entries for FY 2019 only in the Debt Service Fund (DS), ignoring any entries for
governmental activities at the government-wide (GW) level or any other funds.]
2 [6-d-2] Property taxes were levied in the amount of $910,000, of which $20,000
was estimated to be uncollectible.
3 [6-d-3] Bond interest due on January 1, 2019 was paid for the 4% deferred serial
bonds in the amount of $40,000.
4 [6-d-4] On March 1, 2019, the Street Improvement Debt Service Fund (DS) received
$30,000 of premium from the sale of the additional $2,000,000 street improvement bonds
(see first paragraph of section d.), plus $17,000 for two months of accrued interest
($47,000 in total). The $47,000 of premium and accrued interest was invested in
temporary investments earning 3 percent per annum.
Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the receipt of $47,000 in cash [Note: the entry should
look similar to problem 6-b-2]. Also, prepare a journal entry to amend the FY 2019 budget
to reflect the amounts of the premium and accrued interest on bonds sold, including an additional
amount for estimated revenues for investment earnings in the amount of $1,175. (Note: You should
credit Budgetary Fund Balance for the full $48,175, since the appropriation for the
interest payment due on July 1, 2019, was recorded in Paragraph 6-d-1).
5 [6-d-5] By June 30, 2019, property taxes had been collected in the amount of

8 [6-d-8] During the second half of 2018, property taxes were collected in the
