Preparation of the fund financial statements


Problem:

The voters of Salt Lake City authorized the construction of a new north-south expressway for a total cost of no more that $75 million. The voters also approved the issuance of $50 million of 5% general obligation bonds. The balance of the necessary funds will come from the following sources: $15 million from a federal grant and $10 million from a state grant. The City controls expenditures in capital project funds through project management. The City does not formally incorporate budgetary entries in the capital project fund but it does use encumbrance accounting for control purposes.

(a) The City issued $50 million of 5% general obligation bonds at 101.
