Continuous Problem – City of Monroe

TO ACCOMPANY ESSENTIALS OF ACCOUNTING FOR GOVERNMENTAL

AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: ELEVENTH EDITION

Chapters 2 through 8 describe accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments. A continuous problem is presented to provide an overview of the reporting process, including preparation of fund basis and government-wide statements. The problem assumes the government is using fund accounting for its internal record-keeping and then at year-end makes necessary adjustments to prepare the government-wide statements. The problem that follows is presented in the same order as the textbook (beginning with Chapters 3, and 4). Each chapter requires the preparation of journal entries to record the events and transactions of governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary funds. For the General Fund, use control accounts for the budgetary accounts, revenues, expenditures and encumbrances. For all other funds, use separate accounts for each type of revenue and expenditure/expense. At appropriate stages, preparation of the fund and government-wide statements are required. The following funds are included in this series of problems: Governmental Funds  General  Special revenue—Street and Highway Fund  Capital projects—City Hall Annex Construction Fund  Debt service—City Jail Annex Debt Service Fund  Debt service—City Hall Debt Service Fund

Proprietary Funds  Internal service—Stores and Services Fund  Enterprise—Water and Sewer Fund

Fiduciary Funds  Private-purpose—Student Scholarship Fund  Pension trust—Fire and Police Retirement Fund

Chapters 3 & 4 The Balance Sheets of the General Fund and the Street and Highway Fund of the City of Monroe as of December 31, 2013, follow. These (beginning) balances have been entered in the proper general ledger accounts, as of 1/1/2014.

the beginning balance of all fund balance accounts).  Intergovernmental Revenues: When setting up the worksheet, set up

separate lines for the intergovernmental revenues as follows:

State Grant for Highway and Street Maintenance $ 1,085,000 Operational Grant—General Government 312,000 Capital Grant—Public Safety 1,000,000

 Capital Assets: It is not necessary to set up separate lines for different classes of capital (fixed) assets or accumulated depreciation (simply use one row for Capital Assets and another for Accumulated Depreciation).

 Confirm that the total debits and credits equal $ 20,593,850

2. Prepare worksheet entries and post to the worksheet for the following items. Identify each

adjustment by the letter used in the problem:

a. Record the January 1, 2014 balances of general fixed assets and related accumulated depreciation accounts. The City of Monroe had the following balances (excluding Internal Service Funds):

Cost Accumulated Depreciation

Land 5,200,000 – Buildings 30,000,000 18,000,000 Improvements Other than Buildings 27,000,000 9,000,000 Equipment 8,500,000 4,200,000

Totals 70,700,000 31,200,000

b. Eliminate the capital expenditures shown in the governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances.

c. Depreciation expense (governmental activities) for the year totaled $ 6,590,000. d. Eliminate the other financing sources from the sale of bonds by recording a

liability for bonds payable and the related premium. e. As of January 1, 2014, the City of Monroe had $12,000,000 in general

obligation bonds outstanding. f. Eliminate the expenditures for bond principal. g. Accrue interest in the amount of $328,000. (Two bond issues were outstanding;

interest payments for both were last made on July 1, 2014. The computation is as follows: ($11,200,000 × .03 × 6/12) + ($4,000,000 ×. 08 × 6/12) = $328,000).

h. Adjust for the interest accrued in the prior year government-wide statements, but recorded as an expenditure in the 2014 fund basis statements, ($12,000,000 × .03 × 6/12) = $180,000.

i. Amortize bond premium in the amount of $6,000. j. Make adjustments for additional revenue accrual. The only adjustment is for

property taxes to eliminate the current year deferral of property taxes. k. Adjust for the $19,000 of property taxes that was deferred in 2013 and

recognized as revenue in the 2014 fund-basis statements. l. Assume the City adopted a policy in 2014 of allowing employees to accumulate

compensated absences. Make an adjustment accruing the expense of $ 38,000 Charge compensated absences expense.

m. Bring in the balances of the internal service fund balance sheet accounts. Again, use a single account for all capital assets and a second account for all accumulated depreciation balances (use a separate column of the worksheet to enter Internal Service Fund entries).

n. No revenues from internal service funds were with external parties. Assume $13,200 of the $21,200 "Due from Other Funds" in the internal service accounts represents a receivable from the General Fund and the remaining $8,000 is due from the enterprise fund. Eliminate the $13,200 interfund receivables.

o. Reduce governmental fund expenses by the net operating profit of internal service funds. As the amount is small, reduce general government expenses for the entire amount.

p. Eliminate transfers that are between departments reported within governmental activities.

3. Prepare, in good form, a Statement of Activities for the City of Monroe for the Year Ended

December 31, 2014. For purposes of this statement, assume:  $ 312,000 in the General Fund is a state grant specifically to support general

government programs.  $ 1,085,000 in the Street and Highway Fund is an operating grant specifically for

highway and street maintenance expenses.  $ 1,000,000 in the City Jail Construction Fund is a capital grant that applies to

public safety.

Use the balances computed from the worksheet completed in part 2 for the governmental activities portion of the statement. Use the solution to P6–C (Enterprise fund) to prepare the business activities portion (net any short-term interfund payables/receivables).

4. Prepare, in good form, a Statement of Net Position for the City of Monroe as of December

31, 2014. Group all capital assets, net of depreciation. Include a breakdown in the Net position section for (a) capital assets, net of related debt, (b) restricted, and (c) unrestricted. For purposes of classifying net position for the governmental activities, assume:

 For the governmental activities net investment in capital assets, the related debt includes the bonds payable, the premium on bonds payable, and the $20,000 advance from the water utility fund.

 The special revenue fund resources are restricted by the granting agency for street and highway maintenance. These ($ 247,000) are the only restricted resources in the governmental activities.

5. Prepare the reconciliation necessary to convert from the fund balance reported in the

governmental funds Balance Sheet to the net position in the government-wide Statement of Net position.

6. Prepare the reconciliation necessary to convert from the change in fund balances in the

governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances to the change in net position in the government-wide Statement of Activities.

Chapter 13 – Financial Statement Analysis Assemble the financial statements prepared for the City of Monroe. These financial statements will be in the solutions to Exercises 5–C, 6–C, 7–C, and 8–C. Assume a population of 25,000 and fair value of property in the amount of $360 million. Compute the following ratios, following the guidance used for the Village of Elizabeth in this chapter:

(1) Net debt per capita.
