37. The County of Maxnell decides to create a sanitation department and offer its services to the pub¬ lic for a fee. As a result, county officials plan to account for this activity within the enterprise funds. Make journal entries for this operation for the following 2008 transactions as well as necessary adjusting entries at the end of the year. Assume that the information is being gathered for fund- based financial statements. Only entries for the sanitation department are required here:

January 1—Received unrestricted funds of $90,000 as a transfer from the General Fund as per¬ manent financing.

February 1—Borrowed an additional $ 130,000 from a local bank at a 12 percent annual interest rate. March 1—Ordered a truck at an expected cost of $108,000.

April 1—Received the truck and made full payment. The actual cost amounted to $110,000. The truck has a 10-year life and no salvage value. Straight-line depreciation is to be used.

May 1—Received a $20,000 cash grant from the state to help supplement the pay of the sanita¬ tion workers. The money must be used for that purpose.

June 1—Rented a garage for the truck at a cost of $1,000 per month and paid 12 months of rent in advance.

July 1—Charged citizens $13,000 for services. Of this amount, $11,000 has been collected. August 1—Made a $10,000 cash payment on the 12 percent note of February 1. This payment covers both interest and principal.

September 1—Paid salaries of $18,000 using the grant received on May 1.

October 1—Paid truck maintenance costs of $1,000.

November 1—Paid additional salaries of $10,000, first using the rest of the grant money received May 1.

December 31—Sent invoices totaling $19,000 to customers for services over the past six months. Collected $3,000 cash immediately.
