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 year’s appropriation.

Estimated Revenues:
Taxes$2,034,000
Licenses and permits385,000
Intergovernmental revenue410,000

Health and welfare627,300
Miscellaneous99,000
Total appropriations2,815,200

General government$71,000
Public safety263,000
Public works405,000
Health and welfare172,870
Miscellaneous84,000
Total$995,870

  1. The current year’s tax levy of $2,107,700 was recorded; uncollectibles were estimated as $78,000

  2. Tax collections of the current year’s levy totaled $1,472,000. The City also collected $145,000 in taxes from the prior year’s 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$424,000
Public safety648,000
Public works267,000
Health and welfare452,000
Miscellaneous12,400
Credit to Vouchers Payable$1,803,400

  1. Invoices for all items ordered during the prior year were received and approved for payment in the amount of $14,730. Encumbrances had been recorded in the prior year for these items in the amount of $14,130. The amount chargeable to each year’s 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.

  1. Revenue other than taxes collected during the year consisted of licenses and permits, $387,300; intergovernmental revenue, $414,300; and $80,300 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 $2,518,000.


Additional information follows: The General Fund Fund Balance—Unassigned account had a credit balance of $109,900 as of December 31, 2019; no entries have been made in the Fund Balance—Unassigned account during 2020.
