2. The city collected 98% of the delinquent property taxes outstanding at the end of 2020 in the General Fund. The remaining delinquent amount was written off as uncollectible. All of the late payment penalties and interest (100%) were collected. Hint: Remember when writing off (eliminating) uncollectible reserves, revenue is recognized. Originally setting up uncollectible allowance amounts reduced revenue. . 4. The city levied property taxes in the amount of $9,197,000 and established an allowance for uncollectible taxes and discounts equal to 5% of the taxes levied. 5. The city levied the special tax assessment to service the bond issue for the new city park.

Purchase orders for supplies were placed in the amount of $(869,000 + 10,000). 7. The city entered into two construction contracts for the new city park: (a) Hillside Construction Co. for $4,825,000 and (b) Palmer Engineering for $675,000. 9. The city approved encumbrances of $685,000 for Other program costs. 10. The General Fund transferred the $135,000 to the Debt Service Fund for principle payment on the Capital Project Fund bonds. 15. The city vouchered $675,000 related to the encumbered Other Program Costs. (Journal entry #9) 18. The city received and vouchered invoices totaling 85% of the amount in journal entry #6 for payment. The amount encumbrances related to these invoices total 90% of the amount in journal entry #6 related to Supplies Other Programs. 20. The city paid the previously vouchered invoices related to the Other Program Costs. (journal entry #15) 22. The park equipment ordered in journal entry #19( $700.000) was received and inspected. The city vouchered the invoice amount of $680,000. 23.

The city received and vouchered the final invoices for the construction of the city park: (a) Hillside Construction for $4,940,000 and (b) Palmer Engineering for $680,000. 28. All remaining unpaid property taxes were declared delinquent. The city comptroller concluded that an allowance for uncollectible taxes for property taxes should be 5% of the delinquent property taxes.

When you complete all of the journal entries and post them to the T-accounts, you will find a few encumbrance accounts still have balances. You "close" these accounts into the Fund Balance as an adjusting entry, before you complete the Trial Balance sheet and before you complete the financial statements.
