The city leased a truck on the last day of the year. The first payment will be made at the end of the next year. Total payments will amount to $90,000 but have a present value of $64,000.

The city started a landfill this year that it is recording within its general fund. It is included as a public works function. Closure costs today would be $260,000 although the landfill is not expected to be filled for nine more years. The city has incurred no costs to date although the landfill is now 15 percent filled.

For the equipment and supplies that have been 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 are received.

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

The investments are valued at $116,000 at year-end.
