Capital Projects Fund Entries and Statements

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 20X3, West City Council authorizes construction of a new city hall building and the sale of serial bonds to finance the construction. The following transactions, related to financing and constructing the city hall, occur during fiscal 20X3:

1. On August 1, 20X2, West issues $5,000,000 of serial bonds for $5,080,000. Interest is payable annually, and the first retirement of $500,000 is due on July 31, 20X7. The premium is trans­ferred to the debt service fund.


2. The old city hall, which had a recorded cost of $650,000, is torn down. The cost of razing the old building is $45,000, net of salvage value. This cost was included in the capital budget but was not encumbered. The cost is vouchered and paid.


3. West signs a contract with Roth Construction Company to build the city hall for $4,500,000. The contract cost is to be encumbered. Construction is to be completed during fiscal 20X4.


4. Roth Construction Company bills West $2,000,000 for construction completed during fiscal 20X3. Ten percent of the billings will be retained until final acceptance of the new city hall. The billing less the retainage was paid during the fiscal year.
