Is there a typo?
The city paid $219,000 of
debt service expenditures during the 20X2 year comprised
of principal payments of $500,000 and interest payments
of $119,000.
How is it that 219K comprised of 500K toward principal and 119k for interest?
Can you please provide Becker answer as well?
Thanks

Thank you for response me so quickly. It is not typo.
Let me give you the question and answer which is Becker's
final review for Ch9.
The City of Thayer Point reported Revenues over
Expenditures of $25,000 for all governmental funds for
the year ended December 31, 20X2. The city had capital
outlay of $600,000 partially funded by debt proceeds of
$500,000 at December 31, 20X2. The city paid $219,000 of
debt service expenditures during the 20X2 year comprised
of principal payments of $500,000 and interest payments
of $119,000. Interest of 4 percent is due every six
months on April 1 and October 1 on total debt reported at
December 31, 20X1 of $3,000,000. The increase (decrease)
in net assets to be reported for the City's governmental
activities displayed on their government-wide Statement
of Activities is:
$226,000
$225,000
$224,000
$125,000
The correct answer is $226,000
Net changes in fund balance ; 25,000
Other financial sources
Debt Proceeds -$500,000
Expenditures(Capital outlay, principal payments)
Capital Outlay $600,000
Principal payments on Debt $100,000
$700,000
Basis of Accounting
Additional accrued
Revenue and Expense
Prior year accrual
Balance at 20X1 $3,000,000 &nbs p;
Interest rate 4%
Accrual period, 4 months $30,000
Current year accrual
Balance at 20X1 $3,000,000 &nbs p;
Less principal payment -$100,000 &n bsp;
Balance at 20X2 $2,900,000 &nbs p;
Interest rate 4%
Accrual period, 4 months -$29,000
Government wide Change in net assets $226,000
Can you please explain why the interest accrual period is
4 months in both years? thanks

I am sorry, I really don't get this. How is Principal payments on Debt $100,000? And why prior year accrual is 4 months? I will try to dig into this, but if you understand these 2 points, please let me know.
Can you explain how principal payment of 100K is calculated?

Anyone can explain it?
