Prepare general journal entries to record the effects on the General Long-Term Liabilities accounts of the following
Question:
1. Bond anticipation notes that meet the criteria for noncurrent treatment were issued to provide financing for a general government capital project. The notes were issued at their face (par) value of $5,000,000.
2. Special assessment bonds guaranteed by the government matured and were paid during the year: $50,000 principal and $30,000 interest were paid.
3. Principal and interest on the County Courthouse Serial Bonds matured during the year. The maturing interest ($200,000) was paid from the related Debt Service Fund, but the maturing principal ($75,000) had not been paid by year end. General Fund revenues were transferred to cover the interest payments.
4. General Fund expenditures accounts included a Rent Expenditures account with a balance of $200,000. Further investigation of the account indicated that the balance resulted from the payment of $40,000 on operating leases and $160,000 of lease payments on a capital lease (of which $90,000 was for imputed interest).
5. The total general government underfunded pension liability at the beginning of the fiscal year was $14,000,000. Of this amount, $1,500,000 was considered a fund liability. The total general government underfunded pension liability at the end of the fiscal year was $14,500,000. Of this amount, $2,500,000 was considered due and payable at year end.
6. Advance refunding bonds ($10,000,000 par) were issued at 100. The proceeds of the refunding and $2,000,000 of previously accumulated Debt Service Fund resources were set aside in an irrevocable trust to defease in substance $11,500,000 of School Bonds.
7. Assume the same information as in item 6, except that the School Bonds are not defeased in substance as a result of the transaction described.
