The City of Whitt Falls plans to develop a golf course during 2018 and account for it as the Golf Enterprise Fund (GEF). The course will be built on a parcel of land to be purchased from a private party. The planned out-of-pocket costs for the new course and their financing are as follows:

Spending

Acquisition of land from private party

$ 500,000

Installation of sod, sprinklers, landscaping, and fencing

1,000,000

Construction of clubhouse

3,000,000

Total spending

$4,500,000

Capital Financing

Contribution from the General Fund

$1,500,000

Term revenue bonds at 8 percent per annum, interest payable semiannually

3,000,000

Total capital financing

$4,500,000

The City plans to sell the bonds on February 1, 2018. Because the bonds are a term issue, bond principal matures in full on February 1, 2028. Interest is payable each August 1 and February 1, beginning August 1, 2018. The bond covenant requires that assets equal to one-tenth of the bond principal be transferred to a restricted account within the GEF on December 31 of each year. Whitt observes a calendar fiscal year.

Simmons Design and Construction, Inc. (Simmons) has been awarded the contract to develop the golf course. Construction will commence February 15, 2018, and be completed no later than May 31, so it can open for business during June. The contract stipulates that progress billings from Simmons will be paid within 30 days of receipt, with 5 percent retainage held pending completion and acceptance of the project. The city engineer will inspect the contractor's work and approve progress payments.

Accounting for the GEF will be done by the city's existing accounting department (a General Fund department), which will bill the GEF for services rendered at the end of the year. To help the GEF get on its feet financially, no interfund payables will be settled in cash during 2018.

Prepare (a) journal entries (including closing entries) to record the following events and transactions for the year ended December 31, 2018, in the GEF. The corresponding entries that would be made in other funds are not required. In addition, prepare (b) the statement of net position and (c) the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position for the GEF as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

5. March 31: Simmons submitted the first progress billing of $1,800,000. The billing was approved and set up as a construction contracts payable after deducting the 5 percent retainage. (Because of the short duration of the construction period, no construction in progress accounts will be used.) $400,000 of the amount billed represents the cost of sod, sprinklers, landscaping, and fencing (which the city classifies as "improvements other than buildings"). The balance applies to the cost of the clubhouse ("buildings").

6. April 25: The construction contracts payable currently due Simmons was paid.

7. April 30: The second progress billing from Simmons, $1,500,000, was approved and set up as a construction contracts payable after deducting the 5 percent retainage; $600,000 applies to sod, sprinklers, landscaping, and fencing (which is now fully installed), with the remainder to the clubhouse building.

11. June 1: The new golf course was formally accepted by the City (without need for "touch-up" work), and all remaining amounts due to Simmons were paid.

12. June 1: The City acquired golf course maintenance equipment by entering into a 4-year financing lease. The first lease payment of $50,000 was paid on June 2 when the equipment was delivered. The remaining lease payments of $50,000 each will occur on the first, second, and third anniversary of the first payment. Assume that the interest rate on the lease is 4 percent.

13. June 2: Inventory in the amount of $12,000 was acquired for the pro shop; the purchase created an accounts payable.

14. June 4: The course opened for business. Greens fees (charges for services) aggregated $209,000 for June. Pro shop sales (all for cash) amounted to $5,000.
