Scenario A: Budgeted and Actual Debt Service Transactions

Rainbow City is authorized to issue $10,000,000 4% regular serial bonds in 20x0 for the construction of a new police station. The bonds mature in equal annual amounts beginning on January 1, 20X1, for 10 years and pay interest on January 1 and July 1. The funds to pay the interest will be transferred from the General Fund. The city's fiscal year is December 31.

Required:

• Prepare the budgetary entries for 20X0 assuming that the bonds were scheduled to be issued on January 2. Assume that the January 1, 20X1 principal and interest payments will be included in the 20X1 budget.

• The bonds were sold on February 1, 20X0 at 101. Prepare the journal entries needed to record issuance of the bonds, including entries required in the Debt Service Fund and any entries required in the government activities general ledger at the government-wide level.

Scenario B: Capital Assets Acquired Under Lease Agreements

Tangerine County needs a new county court house but does not have current funding available. Accordingly, the county entered into a lease agreement with Surf City Builders whereby the Builders would construct a new court house and lease it to the county for 30 years. The fair market value of the building is $15 million. Using a 6% interest rate, the county has agreed to make an initial payment of $1,028,050 and annual payments in the same amount at the beginning of each of the remaining 29 years. The lease includes a funding clause, which allows Tangerine County to terminate the lease agreement if the government does not appropriate funds for the lease payments, but the county does not intend to exercise the option unless there is a financial emergency. Upon completion, the building had an appraised value of $17 million and a 40-year useful life.

Required:

• Provide the journal entries the county should make in both the Capital Projects Fund general journal and the Governmental Activities general journal to record the lease at the date of inception.

• Which financial statement(s) prepared at the end of the first year would show both the assets and the liability related to this capital lease?
