[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

The following transactions occurred during the 2020 fiscal year for the City of Evergreen. For budgetary purposes, the city reports encumbrances in the Expenditures section of its budgetary comparison schedule for the General Fund but excludes expenditures chargeable to a prior years appropriation.

  1. The budget prepared for the fiscal year 2020 was as follows:

Estimated Revenues:
Taxes $ 2,006,000
Licenses and permits 381,000
Intergovernmental revenue 406,000
Miscellaneous revenues 71,000
Total estimated revenues 2,864,000
Appropriations:
General government 489,900
Public safety 904,900
Public works 668,900
Health and welfare 618,900
Miscellaneous 95,000
Total appropriations 2,777,600
Budgeted increase in fund balance $ 86,400

  1. Encumbrances issued against the appropriations during the year were as follows:

General government $ 67,000
Public safety 259,000
Public works 401,000
Health and welfare 168,910
Miscellaneous 80,000
Total $ 975,910

  1. The current years tax levy of $2,076,100 was recorded; uncollectibles were estimated as $74,000

  2. Tax collections of the current years levy totaled $1,468,000. The City also collected $141,000 in taxes from the prior years levy in the first 60 days after year end. (These delinquent collections had been anticipated prior to year-end.)

  3. Personnel costs during the year were charged to the following appropriations in the amounts indicated. Encumbrances were not recorded for personnel costs. Because no liabilities currently exist for withholdings, you may ignore any FICA or federal or state income tax withholdings. (Expenditures charged to Miscellaneous should be treated as General Government expenses in the governmental activities general journal at the government-wide level.)

General government $ 420,000
Public safety 644,000
Public works 263,000
Health and welfare 448,000
Miscellaneous 12,000
Credit to Vouchers Payable $ 1,787,000

  1. Invoices for all items ordered during the prior year were received and approved for payment in the amount of $14,650. Encumbrances had been recorded in the prior year for these items in the amount of $14,090. The amount chargeable to each years appropriations should be charged to the Public Safety appropriation.

  2. Invoices were received and approved for payment for items ordered in documents recorded as encumbrances in Transaction (2) of this problem. The following appropriations were affected.

Actual Liability Estimated Liability
General government $ 61,700 $ 61,200
Public safety 245,200 249,900
Public works 369,000 366,000
Health and welfare 139,600 139,100
Miscellaneous 80,000 80,000
$ 895,500 $ 896,200

  1. Revenue other than taxes collected during the year consisted of licenses and permits, $382,900; intergovernmental revenue, $409,900; and $75,900 of miscellaneous revenues. For purposes of accounting for these revenues at the government-wide level, the intergovernmental revenues were operating grants and contributions for the Public Safety function. Miscellaneous revenues are not identifiable with any function and, therefore, are recorded as General Revenues at the government-wide level.

  2. Payments on Vouchers Payable totaled $2,514,000.

Additional information follows: The General Fund Fund BalanceUnassigned account had a credit balance of $105,900 as of December 31, 2019; no entries have been made in the Fund BalanceUnassigned account during 2020.
