Question

Capital projects funds account for construction expenditures, not for the assets that are being constructed.

The Wickliffe City Council authorizes the restoration of the city library. The project is to be funded by the issuance of bonds, a reimbursement grant from the state, and property taxes.

1. Please prepare the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance and Fund Balance Sheet (if necessary).

A. The city approves (and gives accounting recognition to) the project's budget of $9,027,000, of which $6,000,000 is to be funded by general obligation bonds, $2,500,000 from the state, and the remaining $527,000 from the general fund. The city estimates that construction costs will be $8,907,000 and bond issue costs $120,000.

B. The city issues 9 percent, 15-year bonds that have a face value of $6,000,000. The bonds are sold for $6,120,000, an amount reflecting a price of $102. The city incurs $115,000 in issue costs; hence, the net proceeds are $6,005,000.
