On the last day of the year, the city borrows $68,000 from a local bank and uses the money to buy a truck. The first payment on the loan (plus interest) will be made at the end of the next year.

The city opens a landfill this year that it records within its general fund. It is a public works function. Closure costs today is estimated as $304,000 although officials do not expect the landfill to be filled for nine more years. The city has incurred no costs to date. The landfill is now 15 percent filled.

For the equipment and supplies that were 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 arrive.

The new building is depreciated over 20 years using the straight-line method and no residual value. Depreciation of the equipment is similar except that its life is only 10 years. Assume the city records a full years depreciation in the year of acquisition.

The investments have a market value of $124,250 at year-end.
