Part 1

1. On January 1, the school district levied property taxes of $8,000. The due date for the taxes is March 31. Taxes are considered delinquent after that date. The school district expects to collect all but 4% of the levy. In addition the district offers a 2% discount if the taxes are paid by February 28. The district expects 40% of the tax to qualify for the discount.

2. Between January 2 and February 28, the district collected $4,800 of the taxed due. Of this amount, $1,300 was due in the preceding fiscal year. The district also collected $130 of penalties and interest during the same time period.

3. During March, an additional $3,500 of receivables were collected. Of this amount, $200 were for the preceding fiscal year. Also during March, $7 of penalties and interest were collected.

4. On April 1, the balance of the current year taxes is past due. A 10% penalty and 2% in interest was immediately assessed on the delinquent debt. It is estimated that $30 of the total interest and penalties will prove uncollectible.

5. On June 12, the school district wrote off $100 property taxes, $10 in penalties, and $2 in interest as uncollectible.

6. From March 31 to January 20 of the next year, the school district collected $300 of the property taxes that were levied on January 1, $86 in penalties, and $20 in interest. Also, the school district collected $200 of property taxes prepaid for the following year.
