- The town ordered one police cruiser at an anticipated cost of $55,000 and recorded the commitment.
- Supplies for the town Manager's office were purchased for $52,000 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 $1,400,000, 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 $32,000 to be displayed in the Town Hall lobby. The town decided not to capitalize or depreciate this asset.
- The vehicle ordered in item (2) above was received at an actual cost of $60,000 to be paid at a later time. The vehicle has an expected life of 3 years and no salvage value.

- 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 $800,000. The town pays $50,000 of the closure costs each year.
- Salaries of $52,000 for the Police Department are due one month after the end of the year.
