A state whose fiscal year ends June 30, 2019, had the following transactions and events. For each item, compute how much total expenditures the state will report in the General Fund Statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the year ended June 30, 2019. 3. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the state's actuary advised the budget director that a total of $430,000 would have to be paid into a retiree Health Care Trust Fund if the state were to contribute to the fund based on the amount of benefits earned by its active employees during fiscal 2019. However, the state has been financing these benefits on a "pay-as-you-go" basis and no trust fund has been established. Therefore, the adopted budget contained an appropriation for $115,000, the amount of benefits the state expected to pay on behalf of retired employees. During the year, actual payments on behalf of retired employees were $96,000. An additional $12,000 was scheduled to be paid in July 2019 for health care benefits claimed in June 2019.

The state permits its employees to accumulate up to 30 days of vacation leave. The employees are entitled to be paid on termination or retirement for any unused vacation days. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the state's liability for unused vacation pay was $720,000. By the end of the fiscal year, the vacation pay liability had increased to $810,000. The latter amount includes $16,000 owed to employees who retired as of June 30, 2019 with unused vacation pay. That amount will be paid on July 12, 2019.

Arlington Town uses an Internal Service Fund to account for its motor pool activities. Based on the following information, calculate the price per trip that the Motor Pool Internal Service Fund needs to charge users during calendar year 2018 to break even: Automobiles: The Motor Pool uses two 6-passenger vans, each costing $45,000 and each estimated to have a 5-year life when they were acquired in 2017. Driver salaries: The Motor Pool has a driver-administrator, who earns $45,000 a year, and a driver, who earns $35,000. The town uses a rate of 30 percent (to cover benefits, including pensions) for planning purposes. Insurance: In 2017, the town purchased a 3-year automobile accident policy at a cost of $6,000. Fuel and maintenance costs: Based on experience, the driver-administrator estimates that total fuel and maintenance costs for the year will be $8,000. Billing units: To simplify its record keeping, the Motor Pool charges a fixed price per trip. Arlington's budget office estimates it will provide 800 trips to the town's departments in 2018.

Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and events. 1. During 2019 Oscar County collected personal income taxes in the amount of $3,200,000 as a result of withholdings by employers and payments of estimated taxes by taxpayers for 2019. 2. At year-end Oscar County's Finance Director estimated that, by April 15, 2020 (when taxpayers are required to file their final tax returns for 2019), taxpayers will make payments of $175,000 with their tax returns and request refunds of $320,000. 3. The Finance Director also estimated that late filers will pay $45,000 of taxes applicable to 2019 when they ultimately file their tax returns. Oscar County's written policy regarding personal income taxes is to consider only payments received with final returns by April 15 as "available."

1. Cash: 3,200,000 Revenues - income taxes: 3,200,000 2. Income taxes receivable: 175,000 Revenues - income taxes: 145,000 Income tax refunds payable: 320,000 3. Income taxes receivable: 45,000 Deferred income tax revenues: 45,000

Nickamigo County is preparing financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Based on the following facts, prepare journal entries to record the appropriate year-end expenditure accruals in the county's General Fund. 1. For the last week in June 2019, Nickamigo County's employees earned $620,000. They are paid in the first week of July. 2. A claim for $100,000 was filed against a county health clinic for medical malpractice in March 2019. The case is scheduled to go to trial in January 2020. County attorneys believe it is probable the county will lose the case if it goes to trial and thus will try to negotiate a settlement. They believe the claim can be settled for about $40,000, but it may take almost a year to settle the case. 3. The county pays health care benefits on behalf of its retired employees. Nickamigo's actuary advised the county that if the plan were financed in accordance with actuarial standards, it would need to contribute $600,000 for fiscal year 2019 to a trust fund. Instead, the county makes monthly payments for the actual expenditures made on behalf of its retirees. The county paid $125,000 for retiree health care costs between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019, and will pay an additional $18,000 on July 10, 2019 for benefit claims made in June 2019.

1. Expenditures - salaries: 620,000 Accrued salaries payable: 620,000 2. No entry 3. Expenditures - retiree health care benefits: 18,000 Accrued liabilities: 18,000

The chief accountant for Eliana City needed to make adjusting entries before preparing the city's financial statements for calendar year 2019. She wrote a brief paragraph to guide her assistant in making the adjusting entries for the General Fund and then gave her assistant data regarding the accounts that might be affected by the adjustments. Use the following information to make the year-end adjusting journal entries, if needed. Identify the expenditure accounts at the object-of-expenditure level. 1. At December 31, the Property taxes receivable account showed a balance of $420,000, all of which was considered to be collectible. She estimated that $315,000 of that amount would be collected in the first 60 days of 2020. 2. The Health Department has a state grant that requires it to incur expenditures before the city can bill for the grant. The Department incurred $45,000 of expenditures under the grant during the last quarter of 2019 and sent a billing to the state, but the billing has not been recorded. 3. During the last week in December, Eliana's employees earned $80,000. They will be paid with the first paycheck in 2020. 4. The city received an invoice for $15,000 from its Electricity Proprietary Fund for December electricity services. The invoice, which has not yet been entered in the records, will be paid in early February. 5. City employees are allowed to accumulate up to 30 days' vacation leave and to get cash for unused leave when they are terminated or retire. The total liability to city employees for earned, but unused, vacation leave increased from $1,210,000 to $1,290,000 during 2019. Two employees retired during the last week of December and will be paid $22,000 for unused leave with their final paychecks in January. 6. Numerous claims have been filed against the city for incidents attributed to several of its departments. Discussions with city attorneys who have been handling the cases indicate that the city could ultimately pay out $1,850,000 in judgments or settlements, an increase of $100,000 over last year's estimate. As of December 31, settlements amounting to $35,000 were reached with two claimants. They will be paid in January. 7. The city operates a Pension Trust Fund to pay employee benefits. The plan has assets sufficient to pay for 75 percent of its pension liabilities. The city actuary recommended that the city contribute $950,000 to the Trust Fund in 2019. However, the city council appropriated only $300,000. That amount was paid to the Trust Fund in October, and the council made no further appropriation for the year. 8. The city Health Department has a state grant that must be used for a specific purpose, but there are no requirements as to when the grant resources may be used. At December 31, 2019, the unspent balance of the grant was $54,000.

Sammy County is preparing financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Based on the following facts, prepare journal entries to record the appropriate year-end revenue accruals and other adjustments in the county's General Fund. 1. At year-end, Sammy's delinquent property tax receivables were $60,000. The county estimated that $35,000 of those delinquencies would be collected by February 29, 2020, and the balance would trickle in during the rest of 2020. 2. Sales taxes are collected by the state on behalf of the county. On January 20, 2020, the state advised the county that (a) it would send the county a check for $150,000 before February 29, 2020, for taxes collected by merchants for the fourth quarter of 2019; and (b) based on past experience, it anticipated sending an additional check for approximately $45,000 during March or April for taxes received from late filers. Sammy's policy regarding sales taxes is to consider as "available" all taxes received before April 30, provided they were collected by merchants in the period covered by the financial statements. 3. Pursuant to state law, the county receives an annual grant from the state to inspect nursing homes and day care centers within the county. The law provides that the state will reimburse the county for 50 percent of salary and travel costs incurred by the county, but no more than the amount appropriated in the state budget for that purpose. For 2019 the amount appropriated by the state for Sammy County was $240,000. Sammy received an advance payment of $175,000 in January 2019 and was to apply for any additional amount due to the county before January 15, 2020. Sammy determined that it had spent a total of $520,000 (covering both the county's share and the state's share of the costs) on the program. (Assume Sammy previously recorded the $175,000 advance (as an Advance from state government) and the $520,000 of expenditures.)

Saralisa City, which operates on a calendar year basis, obtains 40 percent of its revenues from personal income taxes. Employers are required to withhold taxes from the earnings of city residents and remit them to the city monthly. City residents must also make payments, if necessary, with quarterly tax estimates. No later than April 15 of the following year, residents must file tax returns, remitting any additional taxes due to the city or claiming refunds of overpayments. Saralisa's accounting policies call for recognizing taxes obtained from income earned during a particular calendar year provided the taxes are received during the year or before April 30 of the following year; income taxes received after April 30 are recognized as revenues of the year in which received. Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events: 1. When it prepared its 2018 financial statements, Saralisa had deferred recognition of $20,000 of 2018 personal income taxes estimated to be received after April 30, 2019. After April 30, 2019, Saralisa actually receives only $16,000 cash. Saralisa's comptroller believes no additional cash will be received from the 2018 taxes. (Hint: Remember that based on the journal entry to record the deferral, Saralisa's books at the start of 2019 show Income taxes receivable and Deferred income tax revenues of $20,000.) 2. During 2019 Saralisa receives $3,250,000 from personal income taxes withheld by employers during the year and estimates filed by taxpayers during the year. 3. In January 2020, before the financial statements for 2020 are prepared, Saralisa receives $400,000 from employers and taxpayers based on taxpayer earnings during the latter part of 2019. 4. Saralisa's comptroller estimates that the city will receive $55,000 with the 2019 tax returns (due April 15, 2020), as well as requests for refunds totaling $275,000. The comptroller also estimates that $28,000 will trickle in after April 30 with tax returns filed by late filers.
