In 2009, Beech City issued $400,000 of bonds, the proceeds of which were restricted to the financing of a capital project.  The bonds will be paid wholly from special assessments against benefited property owners.  However, Beech is obligated to provide a secondary source of funds for repayment of the bonds in the event of default by the assessed property owners.  In Beech's basic financial statements, this $400,000 special assessment debt should


< id="Answer" value="5163" name="Answer" ="">A. Not be reported.
< id="Answer" value="5164" name="Answer" ="">B. Be reported in the General Fund.
< id="Answer" value="5165" ="" name="Answer" ="">C. Be reported in the government-wide statements only.
< id="Answer" value="5166" name="Answer" ="">D. Be reported in an agency fund

The answer is C and why not B.Help !

LT general liability is only reported on goverment-wide statements as it's not liability to be covered by current resources.

I think entries for this would be in captial project fund:

Cash 400,000

       Other financial sources 400,000

Entries in debt fund  would be when payments are due for principal and interest

and on GW, would be like for a regular  bond

Cash 400,000

     Bonds Payable 400,000

So, leads to answer C

If the city was not obligated to pick up the debt if defaulted, then, the whole thing would be reported in agency fund.

Thanks for the explanation, but like you mentioned cash is being debited twice, is it not double counting? I mean since GW financial would ultimately reflect cash $400,000 twice. Am I talking sense?

Question for anyone. I am taking FAR July 26 and was wondering if anyone has ever had a simulation on Government or Not for Profit. I am still struggling with these two areas. I believe I will be ok with multiple choice but do not believe I am ready for a sim on these areas.
