Refer back to this information as needed.] RUNNING OR REMOVING THE CITY OF BINGHAM Running the City of Bingham The City of Bingham can be started by clicking on the Smithville_Bingham folder as indicated in the \"Opening the City of Bingham\" instructions below. As the City of Bingham is a web-based application, it need not be installed onto your local computer. However, the software is downloaded as a .zip file, copied to your computer or a removable medium (i.e., CD/DVD, USB flash drive, etc.), unzipped, and run locally on your Web browser. As computers are often configured differently, you may need to change your Adobe Flash Player Security settings in order to run the City of Bingham. For more information and detailed instructions, please see Appendix A. You may exit the program by clicking the "X" button at the top right corner of the browser. However, before closing the browser window you MUST SAVE your work or else all changes will be lost. Removing the City of Bingham You can remove the City of Bingham by deleting the Smithville_Bingham folder. It is unnecessary to uninstall the software. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Opening the City of Bingham You can open the City of Bingham at any time by clicking on the Smithville_Bingham folder and then clicking on either the Program or Start icon. The application requires the Web Browser pop-up blocker be turned off in order to run the application properly. 4 Creating a New Project If you will need the instructions for the Bingham project before creating a new project, click on the appropriate file on the Launch window or on \"Open Instructions in the opening window. Open or print the project instructions file. To create a new project, click on \"Create New Project.\" The Create New Project window will appear, as shown below. Enter your first and last name, then select City of Bingham as your project and click [Create]. The main project window will pop-up once the project is created and you will be ready to begin entering journal entry data for your first assignment. This step creates the accounts and funds that you will need to complete the \"City of Bingham\" project. After you have completed the journal entries for each assignment, you should save your project data file in the Projects folder located in the Smithville_Bingham folder that was created when the download file was unzipped. For your own protection against hard-drive failure or file corruption, we recommend that you create a dated backup file on a removable device (CD/DVD/USB Flash Drive) or a server at the end of each session. This will permit you to reopen your project to the current stage of completion should you make serious errors on the next session. Opening an Existing Project After your initial data entry session, click on \"Open Existing Project,\" and then select and open the data file you saved at the end of your first session. Saving the Current Project During, or at the end of each assignment, click on and . If a filename has already been specified, the current filename should be displayed in the Save dialog but may be changed if desired. Be sure NOT to exit your browser 5 until you have saved your project file or all changes made during the current session will be lost. 6 City Of Bingham Main Window If you have opened a project file, the main project window should appear as follows: To navigate between the Journal, Account, and Ledgers screens, simply click on the [TAB] for that particular screen. To switch between different funds and governmental activities, government-wide, choose the desired entity from the drop-down menu. You can verify which entity you are working on by the caption on the upper right corner of the window. It will show the title of your project, and the current fund you are in. The main window has the same standard window controls as most other applications. To close down your project, simply click on the [X] box. It is very important, however, that you save your project file before closing the browser. Remember the folder location where you save your file so it will be easier to retrieve it when you want to reopen the file. 7 Adding and Posting Journal Entries If you are looking at the main window, you need to switch to the Journal view before you can add any journal entries. Once you have switched to the Journal view, you will see the journal entry panel on the lower portion of the window. Before ANY entry can be added to the journal, a transaction description, account #-description, and debit or credit must be specified. Once you have filled in the necessary fields, simply click on [Add Entry] to add the entry to the journal. If the entry being made is a closing entry, you must click on the check mark for [Closing Entry]. If one of the fields is missing a value or contains an illegal character, the [Add Entry] button will remain disabled. If you are adding an entry that also affects a detail journal, you must first select an item from the drop-down [Transaction Description] or type your own description in the box before selecting the account and select the corresponding control account from the drop-down [Account (# - Account Description)] menu. If the account selected is a control account, the detail journal will automatically open for entering the transaction detail. Once you have entered a batch of entries into the general journal, you can post them to the general ledger at any time by clicking the [Post Entries] button. In the case of the General Fund, posting transactions also posts entries from the detail journal to the Revenue ledger and Appropriations, Encumbrances, Expenditures ledgers. The [Post Entries] button only posts entries for the fund/entity that is currently open. 8 Editing/Deleting/Unposting Journal Entries To edit entries that have already been entered, double click or right click on the entry, and select edit. You will know you are in edit mode when the entry form turns red and the boxes fill in with the data from the journal. If you wish to delete an entry, right click on the item and select [Delete] or choose [Edit]-[Delete]. As in real-world systems, the software usually does not allow you to edit entries that have already been posted. So, it is recommended that you verify the accuracy of entries before clicking [Post Entries]. However, for your convenience we have added the capability to \"unpost\" individual batches of posted transactions. Simply highlight any entry within the batch you want to unpost and either right click and select [Unpost] or select [Unpost] from the Edit menu. Make all necessary editing changes to the appropriate accounts then click [Post Entries] and your corrections will be made to the appropriate accounts. If you need to add an entry to a previously posted journal entry, then unpost as described above, highlight the line below which a new entry is to be added, and right click and select \"Insert New Entry.\" Screen shot of \"right clicking\" on a journal entry. Enter the data for the new entry and click \"Add Entry\" to insert the new entry. As in prior versions, a provision also allows you to clear all of the transactions from the current fund or entity. Under [File]-[Student Assistance] you will find the option [Wipe out Current Fund or Entity]. The wipe out function should be used as a last resort since making changes by editing is quite easy. Once you select this option, there is no going back. It will remove ALL of the transactions for the current fund or entity. 9 Working with the Ledger Screen Switch to the Ledgers screen by clicking on the Ledger tab. Switch entities at any time by changing the selection. Depending on the fund or entity on which you are working, there may be different ledgers for you to view. Choose the ledger you want to view from the drop-down list. If you want to print out a ledger, you should open the [Reports] menu, and select the report to print. Working with the Detail Journal Screen The General Fund of the City of Bingham uses a Detail Journal to avoid recording operating or budget detail in the general journal/ledgers. If you choose a control account that has subsidiary detail associated with it, you will be taken directly to the Detail Journal. If you attempt to edit a journal entry that has associated subsidiary detail, you will automatically be prompted to also open the Detail Journal for editing, if desired. The Detail Journal screen for the General Fund appears as shown on the following page. 10 The Detail Journal operates very similar to the entry screen on the General Journal. Fill in the boxes or, in the case of the [Transaction Description] box, select a description from the drop-down menu, and click [Add Entry]. The balance of the entries for this transaction is automatically updated. When you exit the Detail Journal the balance will be copied into a single control account amount in the General Journal. Please note that the year and reference numbers of these transactions are based on the originating entry (the line in the General Journal). Printing Reports (Not preferred) All of the reports for the City of Bingham are available through the Reports menu. Simply go to the menu and click on the report you want. To print, click on the \"Print\" icon and print in the normal manner. If you need to create a \"Save as Printable PDF File,\" accept the default file name and save location, or change the name and/or location if you prefer. 11 Exporting Trial Balances (Preferred Method) To make it easier to prepare financial statements/schedules, spreadsheet files for all trial balances for each entity and each year of transactions, as well as detail subsidiary account balances (General Fund only), can be exported to either Excel or CVS for non-Microsoft applications. To export an item, select it from the menu, add the instruction number before the default file name and folder location, and save it. You can change the file name and/or location if you prefer. For example, the Excel output file from instruction Chapter 2 - letter \"b\" should be named \"2b-Post-Closing Trial Balance to ExcelGeneral Fund2013\". 12 Instructions and Information for Completing Chapters 2 through 10 and 11 of the City of Bingham This version of a cumulative problem written for the computer presents a series of transactions, covering activities of the City of Bingham, assuming the city utilizes the dual-track accounting approach to the GASB governmental reporting model described in Reck, Lowensohn, and Wilson, Accounting for Governmental and Nonprofit Entities, 16th Edition. The transactions presented relate to the city's General, capital projects, debt service, enterprise, and fiduciary funds, as well as to an additional accounting entity, Governmental Activities at the government-wide level. The transactions and instructions in this series are designated Chapter 2, Chapter 3, etc., corresponding to the chapters of Reck, Lowensohn, and Wilson, Accounting for Governmental and Nonprofit Entities, 16th Edition. If you have not yet read the Chapter 1 instructions for using the City of Bingham software program, you should do so before beginning the project. When finished reading those instructions, begin the project with Chapter 2 of the instructions as you complete Chapter 2 of the textbook. Some problems require you to export trial balances or other documents. Other problems require the preparation of financial statements. The specified documents can either be turned in chapter by chapter or retained in a cumulative folder until the end of the project, depending on your instructor's preference and instructions. Some instructors may prefer that you attach your project data file and a spreadsheet file containing your trial balances, financial statements, and other required documents to an e-mail for submission. To minimize errors, you should read and follow all instructions carefully. Students find that this computerized cumulative problem significantly enhances their learning if they complete each City of Bingham chapter as the corresponding chapter of the textbook is covered. Conversely, students who procrastinate often find that the project takes much more time than they expected and that it is harder to recall how to make the journal entries covered in the earlier chapters. Thus, delaying until the deadline for your project is nearly due may increase the total time it takes you to do the project and leave you little time for anything else that week. So, our advice is to stay current with the project. 13 Chapter 2 Opening the Books The City of Bingham has installed a new computerized accounting system, which provides files for general journal entries and posting to appropriate general ledger/subsidiary ledger accounts. Accounts are provided for both budgetary and operating statement accounts and balance sheet accounts for the General Fund, as well as accounts needed for governmental activities at the government-wide level. Accounts are also provided as appropriate for all other funds used by the City of Bingham, which you will use in Chapters 5-9 of the problem.

[Closing Entry] Following the instructions in the next paragraph, prepare and post the necessary entries to close the Estimated Revenues, Appropriations, and Estimated Other Financing UsesInterfund Transfers Out accounts to Budgetary Fund Balance; and Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Financing UsesInterfund Transfers Out to Fund BalanceUnassigned. Because the City of Bingham honors all outstanding encumbrances at year-end, it is not necessary to close Encumbrances to Encumbrances Outstanding at year-end since encumbrances do not affect the General Fund balance sheet or statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. However, if you would like to avoid having these accounts appear in the post-closing trial balance, you can opt to close Encumbrances to Encumbrances Outstanding. If the accounts are closed, they would need to be reestablished at the beginning of the next year, although entries are not required in this problem for the next year. To close the temporary accounts, you must click on the check mark for [Closing Entry], \"Closing Entry\" will appear in the [Transaction Description] box. Be sure the check mark in the box for [Closing Entry] is showing before closing each individual account. Also, with the exception of Estimated Other Financing UsesInterfund Transfers Out and Other Financing UsesInterfund Transfers Out, you will be sent to the Detail Journal where you must close each individual 24 budgetary or operating statement account. To determine the closing amounts for both General Ledger and subsidiary ledger accounts, you should first export the pre-closing version of these ledgers for year 2014 into an Excel file. At year-end, an analysis by the city's finance department determined the following constraints on resources in the General Fund. Prepare the appropriate journal entry in the General Fund to reclassify amounts between Fund BalanceUnassigned and the fund balance accounts corresponding to the constraints shown below.
