Capital projects funds account for construction expenditures, not for the assets that are being constructed. So what will be my journal entries if: "The city approving (and gives accounting recognition to) the project's budget of $8,643,000 of which $5,616,000 is to be funded by general obligation bonds, $2,650,000 from the state, and the remaining $377,000 from the general fund. The city estimates that construction costs will be $8,550,000 and bond issue costs $93,000."
