Question

The City of Pfeiffer starts the year of 2017 with the general fund and an enterprise fund. The general fund has two activities: education and parks/recreation. For convenience, assume that the general fund holds $144,000 cash and a new school building costing $1,180,000. The city utilizes straight-line depreciation. The building has a 20-year life and no salvage value. The enterprise fund has $65,000 cash and a new $360,000 civic auditorium with a 30-year life and no salvage value. The enterprise fund monitors just one activity, the rental of the civic auditorium for entertainment and other cultural affairs.

The following transactions for the city take place during 2017. Assume that the city’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
