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

Public works		254,000
Health and welfare		439,000

Encumbrances had been recorded in the prior year for these items in the amount of $14,000. The amount chargeable to each years appropriations should be charged to the Public Safety appropriation.
7.	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		$	52,700			$	52,200

8.	Revenue other than taxes collected during the year consisted of licenses and permits, $373,000; intergovernmental revenue, $400,000; and $66,000 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.
9.	Payments on Vouchers Payable totaled $2,505,000.
