Unpost capability.  As mentioned in the “User Guide” page, the City of Smithville software program permits students to “unpost” a particular batch of posted transactions. Unposted entries then can be edited and re-posted. In addition, any omitted entries can be inserted above or below a selected journal line in any unposted batch of entries. Prior to unposting a batch, all batches must be posted.

 

  1. Select [File>Export>Post-Closing Trial Balance to Excel-General Fund] and export the trial balance for 2019 in Excel to Project Workbook.

 

  1. Select [Governmental Activities, Government-wide Level] in the “Current accounting entity” dropdown field and the [Accounts] tab.  You will see most of the accounts included in the preceding trial balance, plus many other accounts that will be used in the various chapters of the City of Smithville project.

 

  1. Select the [Journal] tab and create a journal entry to enter the statement of net position (i.e., balance sheet) accounts and amounts shown in the following trial balance.  It is necessary to enter these items in the accounts of the governmental activities category at the government-wide level as the general journal and general ledger for governmental activities comprise a separate “set of books” from those for the General Fund.  Be sure to enter 2019 from the dropdown menu in the [Year] column and enter 2-d in the [Add description] field in the [Description] column.  Select each account individually and insert the appropriate debit or credit amount for each account.  When you have completed entering the initial data, verify the accuracy and click [Post entries] to post the entry to the governmental activities, government-wide general ledger.

To finish recording the budget debit Budgetary Fund Balance and credit Estimated Other Financing Uses—Interfund Transfer Out for $17,500. Note that budgetary entries have no effect on governmental activities at the government-wide level and thus the budget information is only recorded in the General Fund.

Chapter 4 Recording Operating Transactions Affecting the General Fund and Governmental Activities at the Government-wide Level

 

Presented below are a number of transactions for the City of Smithville that occurred during fiscal year 2020, the year for which the budget given in Chapter 3 was recorded.   Read all instructions carefully. 

 

  1. After opening the data file containing your data from Chapters 2 and 3 of this project, record the following transactions in the general journal for the General Fund and, if applicable, in the general journal for governmental activities at the government-wide level. For all entries, the date selected should be year 2020. For each of the paragraphs that requires entries in both the General Fund and governmental activities journals, you can either record them in both journals on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis or, alternatively, record all the General Fund journal entries first for all paragraphs, then complete the governmental activities journal entries for all paragraphs. Regardless of the method you choose, we recommend that you refer to the illustrative journal entries in Chapter 4 of the Reck, Lowensohn, and Neely textbook (18th edition) for guidance in making all entries.

Required: Record this transaction in both the General Fund and governmental activities journal. (Note: Type 4-a-1 as the paragraph number in the [Add description] field for this entry; 4-a-2 for the next transaction, etc. Careful referencing by paragraph number is very helpful should you need to determine where you may have omitted a required journal entry or made an error.)

Chapter 8 Recording Transactions Affecting a Fiduciary Fund—a Tax Custodial Fund

That fund will not levy property taxes for FY 2020.) As permitted by state law, the City of Smithville charges a collection fee of 1 percent of all taxes collected for the other governments.
