Now solution:

(c). The amount of property tax revenue recognized during the current year in the General Fund and at the government-wide level :

Property taxes levied (Net of estimated uncollectible) :  

= (Levied property taxes of $6,610,000) - (2% percent is estimated to be uncollectible)

=  $6,610,000 - (2% -of $6,610,000)

=  $6,610,000 - $132,200

= $6,477,800

Property taxes levied (Net of estimated uncollectible) = $6,477,800

The amount of property tax revenue recognized during the current year in the General Fund and at the government-wide level  is $6,477,800
