The following information pertains to the City of Williamson for 2020, its first year of legal existence. For convenience, assume that all transactions are for the general fund, which has three separate functions: general government, public safety, and health and sanitation.

 

   
Receipts:  
Property taxes $320,000
Franchise taxes 42,000
Charges for general government services 5,000
Charges for public safety services 3,000
Charges for health and sanitation services 42,000
Issued long-term note payable 200,000
Receivables at end of year:  
Property taxes (90% estimated to be collectible) 90,000
Payments:  
Salary:  
General government 66,000
Public safety 39,000
Health and sanitation 22,000
Rent:  
General government 11,000
Public safety 18,000
Health and sanitation 3,000
Maintenance:  
General government 21,000
Public safety 5,000
Health and sanitation 9,000
Insurance:  
General government 8,000
Public safety ($2,000 still prepaid at end of year) 11,000
Health and sanitation 12,000
Interest on debt 16,000
Principal payment on debt 4,000
Storage shed 120,000
Equipment 80,000
Supplies (20% still held) (public safety) 15,000
Investments 90,000
Ordered but not received:  
Equipment 12,000
Liabilities, all of which are due in one month at end of year:  
Salaries:  
General government 4,000
Public safety 7,000
Health and sanitation 8,000
 

 

Compensated absences (such as vacations and sick days) legally owed to general government workers at year-end total $13,000. These amounts will not be taken by the employees until so late in 2021 that the payment is not viewed as requiring 2020 current financial resources.

 

The city received a piece of art this year as a donation. It is valued at $14,000. The city plans to use it for general government purposes. The gift has no eligibility requirements. The city chose not to capitalize this property.

 

General government activities use the storage shed that was acquired this year. It is depreciated over a 10-year period using the straight-line method with no residual value. The city uses the equipment for health and sanitation and depreciates it using the straight-line method over five years with no residual value.

 

The investments are valued at $103,000 at the end of the year.

 

For the equipment that was ordered but not yet received, the City Council (the highest decision-making body in the government) voted to honor the commitment when the equipment eventually arrives.
