The City of Bernard starts the year of 2010 with the following unrestricted amounts in its General Fund: cash of \($20,000\) and investments of \($70,000\). In addition, it holds a building bought on January 1, 2009, for general government purposes for \($300,000\) and related long-term debt of

\($240,000\). The building is being depreciated on the straight-line method over 10 years. The interest rate is 10 percent. The General Fund has four separate functions: general government, public safety, public works, and health and sanitation. Other information includes the following:

The city leased a truck on the last day of the year. The first payment will be made at the end of the next year. Total payments will amount to \($90,000\) but have a present value of \($64,000\). The city started a landfill this year that it is recording within its General Fund. It is included as a public works function. Closure costs today would be \($260,000\) although the landfill is not expected to be filled for nine more years. The city has incurred no costs to date although the landfill is now 15 percent filled.
For the equipment and supplies that have been ordered but not yet received, the City Council (the highest decision-making body in the government) has voted to honor the commitment when the items are received.

Assume the city records a full year’s depreciation in the year of acquisition.
The investments are valued at \($116,000\) at year-end.
