Question

Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events that occurred in Marilyn County during calendar year 2019:

1. The legislature adopted the following budget: Estimated revenues and other sources: Property taxes $1,740,000 Sales taxes 1,000,000 Use of fund balance 10,000 Total $2,750,000 Appropriations: General government—salaries $ 420,000 General government—supplies 30,000 Parks department—salaries 2,000,000 Parks department—plants and supplies 300,000 Total $2,750,000

2. The Parks department placed PO 2019-1 for shrubbery in the amount of $52,000 and PO 2019-2 for gardening supplies in the amount of $11,000. The orders were charged to the appropriation for Parks department—plants and supplies.

3. The supplier delivered the shrubbery ordered on PO 2019-1; however, the supplier said he could not deliver some of the shrubs because he no longer carried them. The invoice for $49,000 was approved and forwarded to the comptroller’s office for payment; the rest of the order ($3,000) was cancelled.

4. The supplier delivered the gardening supplies ordered on PO 2019-2. She sent an invoice for $11,200 because some of the items were of a higher quality than ordered. The Parks department accepted the entire delivery and forwarded the invoice for payment.

5. Based on a mid-year review of economy, the finance director concluded that sales tax revenues would be less than the original estimate. As a result, the legislature amended the budget, reducing the sales tax estimate by $50,000 and the Parks department—plants and supplies appropriation by $35,000.
