(Note: All cash receipts and collection fees were recorded in earlier chapters in the journals for the General Fund and governmental activities at the government-wide level. The collection fees, though not separately identified, were included in Revenues?Charges for Services in the General Fund and in Program Revenues?General Government?Charges for Services in governmental activities.)

Use the exportable trial balances used in Chapters 2 through 7 of this problem and export the pre-closing trial balance and post-closing trial balance for governmental activitiesto prepare all government-wide and fund financial statements that the City of Smithville must presentfor its basic financial statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. (See Illustrations 9-3 through 9-8 and A2-1 through A2-9 of the Reck and Lowensohntextbook for examples of these statements.) We recommend that you use Excel to prepare these financial statements; however, your instructor may want you to do these manually. Since the Solid Waste Disposal Fund is the only fund in the proprietary funds category, you may reprint the statement of net assets; statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and the statement of cash flows prepared for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund as the required statements for the proprietary fund basic financial statements, with appropriate changes to the titles of the statements. The information for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund can also be used to complete the Business-type Activities columns of the government-wide financial statements.
[Notes: The City of Smithville is a primary government and has no other organizations for which it is accountable as component units. Also, the FY 2018 financial information for the Street Improvement Debt Service Fund is not included in any of the basic financial statements you are preparing, as the statements you are preparing pertain only to FY 2017.]

(Note: Round all amounts to the nearest whole dollar.) Make these entries only in the Tax Agency Fund general journal. The Tax Agency Fund records the total amount of delinquent taxes and related interest and penalties in the Taxes Receivable for Other Funds and GovernmentsDelinquent account. (Note: All cash receipts and collection fees were recorded in earlier chapters in the journals for the General Fund and governmental activities at the government-wide level. The collection fees, though not separately identified, were included in RevenuesCharges for Services in the General Fund and in Program RevenuesGeneral Government Charges for Services in governmental activities.) 3. [Para. 8-b-3]All cash collected in paragraph 8-b-2 was transferred to the other funds and governments in the amounts calculated, adjusted for collection fees deducted or added (see Para. 8-b-2). 4. [Para. 8-b-4] Current taxes were collected during the year for the funds and governments shown below: Current Taxes Funds/Governments: Collected City of Smithville General Fund $1,561,535 Smithville CSD 8,412,730 Smith County 2,069,800 Smith County FPD 1,747,540 Total collected $13,791,605 Required: Record the collections of current taxes and recognize specific liabilities to each fund or government, after deducting the 1 percent collection fee from other governments and adding the total collection fee to the amount due the City of Smithville General Fund. Make these entries only in the Tax Agency Fund general journal. 5. [Para. 8-b-5] All cash collected in paragraph 8-b-4 was transferred to the other funds and governments, adjusted for collection fees deducted or added. (Note: For simplicity, Chapter 4 of Smithville did not address this collection of fees by the agency fund.) 6. [Para. 8-b-6]Make the year-end journal entry to reclassify all uncollected current taxes as delinquent. Add to the receivable amount interest and penalties of 4 percent on the reclassified amount (round amount to nearest whole dollar). The interest and penalties portion of the total amount should be debited to Taxes Receivable for Other Funds and GovernmentsDelinquent and credited to Due to Other Funds and Governments. You need only record the aggregate amounts reclassified in the general journal; the tax administrator will update the detailed tax ledger records for these reclassifications. c. Post the journal entries for all the preceding transactions,and thenexport apost-closing trial balance for 2017to Excel. Use the trial balance to prepare a statement of fiduciary net position for the Tax Agency Fund (for an example of an agency fund, see the last column of Illustration A2-10 in Appendix A of Chapter 2 of the text). You should deduct $176,373 of delinquent taxes receivable and related interest and penalties receivablefrom the amounts recorded as Taxes Receivable for Other Funds and GovernmentsDelinquent. The same amount should be deducted from the liability account Due to Other Funds and Governments. The city's General Fund portion of these account balances must be deducted as only the amounts applicable to other governments can be reported in a fiduciary fund statement. Taxes receivable and interest and penalties receivable that are applicable to the city itself were reported in the General Fund balance sheet that you prepared in Chapter 4 of this project. [Note: Retain the post-closing trial balance as of December 31, 2017, and the statement of fiduciary net position in your cumulative folder, unless your instructor requests electronic submission of your documents, in which case you will need to save a .pdf version of you trial balances.] Chapter 9 Adjusting and Closing Entries for Governmental Activities, Government-wide Level; Preparation of Government-wide and Major Fund Financial Statements a. Prior to preparing financial statements at the end of FY 2017, it is necessary to record depreciation expense for the year for governmental activities at the government-wide level. Based on general capital assets assigned to specific functions, depreciation expense related to equipment and infrastructure is allocated to functions as shown below: General Government Public Safety Public Works Health and Welfare Culture and Recreation Totals Equipment $ 44,460 177,840 115,596 44,460 62,244 $444,600 Infrastructure $ 98,620 $ 98,620 In addition, depreciation expense for buildings in the amount of $209,000 is allocated to functions according to the percentage of total floor space of buildings used by each function. The Public Works director has provided the following information for the current year: General Government Public Safety Public Works Health and Welfare Culture and Recreation Total Percentage of Building Floor Space Used 20% 35 22 10 13 100% Required:[Para. 9-a] Record depreciation expense for the year 2017 in the governmental activities general journal at the government-wide level. Verify accuracy of the adjusting entries and post to the general ledger by clicking [Post Entries]. b. Closing Entries.Although closing entries were made in each fund in Chapters 4 through 6 of this cumulative problem, they have not yet been recorded at the government-wide level. Required: Record the journal entries required on December 31, 2017, to close all temporary accounts for governmental activities at the government-wide level. These entries should also recognize changes in the accounts Net PositionNet Investment in Capital Assets,Net PositionRestricted for Public Safety (see General Fund), Net PositionRestricted for Capital Projects (see Capital Projects Fund to calculate net position), and Net PositionRestricted for Debt Service (see Debt Service Fund to calculate net position). (Note: Be sure to deduct accrued interest on long-term debt in calculating the December 31, 2017 balance of Net PositionRestricted for Debt Service.) For each account to be closed or reclassified, be sure and click on the check mark for [Closing Entry] and that \"Closing Entries\" appears in the [Transaction Description]box. Post the closing entries to the general ledger by clicking on [Post Entries]. Before closing the City of Smithville, click on [File], and [Save/Save As] to save your work. If you close the file by clicking on the [X] box you will be asked if you want to save your changes before closing. c. Use the exportable trial balances used in Chapters 2 through 7 of this problem and export the pre-closing trial balance and post-closing trial balance for governmental activitiesto prepare all government-wide and fund financial statements that the City of Smithville must presentfor its basic financial statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. (See Illustrations 9-3 through 9-8 and A2-1 through A2-9 of the Reck and Lowensohntextbook for examples of these statements.) We recommend that you use Excel to prepare these financial statements; however, your instructor may want you to do these manually. Since the Solid Waste Disposal Fund is the only fund in the proprietary funds category, you may reprint the statement of net assets; statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and the statement of cash flows prepared for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund as the required statements for the proprietary fund basic financial statements, with appropriate changes to the titles of the statements. The information for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund can also be used to complete the Business-type Activities columns of the government-wide financial statements. [Notes: The City of Smithville is a primary government and has no other organizations for which it is accountable as component units. Also, the FY 2018 financial information for the Street Improvement Debt Service Fund is not included in any of the basic financial statements you are preparing, as the statements you are preparing pertain only to FY 2017.] No 7 Cash = 414,221 Accounts receivable = 133,687 Allowance for doubtful accounts = 7,100 (Cr) Inventories = $4080 Due from accounts = $2800 Land 600,000 Building = 1,650,000 Accumulated dep on building = $832500 (Cr) Equipment = 1,675,400 Accumulated depreciation on equipment = 889,680 (Cr) Vochers payable = 40,080(Cr) Duet to other funds = 12,000(Cr) Accrued payroll = 66,053 (Cr) Net position net investment in capital assets = 2,043,510 (Cr) Net position unrestricted = 312,520 (Cr) Interest payable = 4,000 (Cr) Short term notes payable = 100,000 (Cr) Long term notes payable = 100,000 (Cr) Sales revenue = 2,247,532 (Cr) Payroll expense = 1,221,057 Cost of goods sold = 773,480 Depreciation expense = 175,290 Interest expense = 4,000 Bad debt expense = 960 Total = 6,654,975 No 7 Cash = 414,221 Accounts receivable = 133,687 Allowance for doubtful accounts = 7,100 (Cr) Inventories = $4080 Due from accounts = $2800 Land 600,000 Building = 1,650,000 Accumulated dep on building = $832500 (Cr) Equipment = 1,675,400 Accumulated depreciation on equipment = 889,680 (Cr) Vochers payable = 40,080(Cr) Duet to other funds = 12,000(Cr) Accrued payroll = 66,053 (Cr) Net position net investment in capital assets = 2,043,510 (Cr) Net position unrestricted = 312,520 (Cr) Interest payable = 4,000 (Cr) Short term notes payable = 100,000 (Cr) Long term notes payable = 100,000 (Cr) Sales revenue = 2,247,532 (Cr) Payroll expense = 1,221,057 Cost of goods sold = 773,480 Depreciation expense = 175,290 Interest expense = 4,000 Bad debt expense = 960 Total = 6,654,975
