Question 2

(Journal entries for a major construction project)

Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions of a state, identifying the funds affected by each transaction. Record journal entries for all funds affected.

The state prepares a budget for the Capital Projects Fund and uses encumbrance accounting in that fund.

a. The state records its capital budget. It appropriates 10 million for highway construction, which will be financed entirely with the issuance of bonds.
b. The state sells 20-year 6 bonds having a face value of 10 million. The bonds are sold at a discount, so the state realizes a total of 9,900,000 . Equal installments of principal will be paid every six months, together with interest on the unpaid balance.
c. The state awards two contracts, one for highway construction (6,500,000) and one for construction supervision (350,000). Both contracts provide for progress payments. The highway construction contract provides for 10 retainage pending completion of the project. There is no retainage on the construction supervision contract.
d. The construction contractor submits an invoice for 1,500,000 . The invoice is approved and a voucher is prepared, less the 10 retainage.
e. The construction supervisor submits an invoice for 100,000, and a voucher is prepared.
f. Both of the invoices in transactions d. and e. are paid.
g. The state transfers 800,000 from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund in anticipation of the payment of debt service on the bonds.
h. The first semi-annual debt service on the 20-year bonds becomes due and payable (see transaction b).
i. The debt service is paid.
