Question Description

Complete the following problems and exercises, showing all work and submit in the classroom.

1. Identification of Fiduciary Funds. Following is a
list of fund names and descriptions from comprehensive annual financial
reports (CAFRs). Indicate which of the following are fiduciary funds.
If not a fiduciary fund, identify which type of fund should be used to
account for the activities and explain why that fund is most
appropriate.

  1. Tri-Centennial Fund. Accounts for money raised or contributed by
    several local area governments and other organizations. The purpose is
    to ensure availability of resources to celebrate the United States
    Tri-Centennial in 2076.
  2. Perpetual Care Fund. Accounts for endowed gifts and investment earnings dedicated to perpetual care of the city’s cemeteries.
  3. Poudre River Public Library District Fund. Accounts for cash and
    investments held by the city on behalf of Poudre River Public Library
    District.
  4. School Impact Fee Fund. The city collects school impact fees as part
    of the cost of building permits issued. Money must be remitted
    periodically to the local school district, a legally separate government
    that is not a component unit of the city.
  5. Cultural Services and Facilities Fund. Accounts for revenues
    received from the Lincoln Center performing arts facility, the city
    museum, and General Fund subsidies used to promote cultural activities
    for city residents.
  6. Payroll Fund. The city has established a fund in which all payroll deductions are reported.
  7. Telephone Commissions Fund. The city collects commissions on pay
    telephones used by jail inmates. The funds are used to provide inmates
    such benefits as library resources and fitness equipment.
  8. Block Grant Fund. The state receives federal funds for the homeless
    which it passes through to local not-for-profit organizations. The only
    responsibility the state has is to contribute an additional amount of
    funds (match) to the federal grant.
  9. Health Benefits Fund. The county has agreed to pay a portion of the
    health insurance premiums for employees when they retire. Contributions
    for the benefit are paid into this fund.
  10. Unclaimed Property Fund. The state has established a fund to account
    for abandoned and unclaimed property. The property is held in the fund
    for 10 years. If a legal claimant to the property is not found within
    the 10-year time period, the property reverts to the state.

2. Investment Trust Fund. The Albertville City
Council decided to pool the investments of its General Fund with
Albertville Schools and Richwood Township in an investment pool to be
managed by the city. Each of the pool participants had reported its
investments at fair value as of the end of 2016. At the date of
creation of the pool, February 15, 2017, the fair value of the
investments of each pool participant was as follows:

Investments

12/31/16

2/15/17

City of Albertville General Fund

$ 890,000

$900,000

Albertville Schools

$4,200,000

$4,230,000

Richwood Township

$3,890,000

$3,870,000

Total

$8,980,000

$9,000,000

Using this information:

  1. Prepare the journal entries that should be made by the City of
    Albertville, Albertville Schools, and Richwood Township on February 15
    to record their participation in the investment pool. (Entries for the
    investment pool trust fund will be made later.)
  2. Prepare the journal entries to be made in the accounts of the
    investment pool trust fund to record the following transactions of the
    first year of operations:

    1. Record the investments transferred to the pool; assume that the
      investments of the city’s General Fund were in U.S. Treasury notes and
      the investments of both the schools and the township were in
      certificates of deposit (CDs).
    2. On June 15, the Richwood Township decided to withdraw $3,010,000 for
      a capital projects payment. At the date of the withdrawal, the fair
      value of the Treasury notes has increased by $30,000. Assume that the
      trust fund is able to redeem the CDs necessary to complete the
      withdrawal without a penalty but does not receive interest on the funds.
    3. On September 15, interest on Treasury notes in the amount of $50,000 was collected.
    4. Interest on CDs accrued at year-end amounted to $28,000.
    5. At the end of the year, undistributed earnings were allocated to the
      investment pool participants. Assume that there were no additional
      changes in the fair value of investments after the Richwood Township
      withdrawal. Round the amount of the distribution to each fund or
      participant to the nearest dollar.
  3. Record the June 15 increase in each of the participant’s funds.
  4. Record the change in each participant’s Equity in Pooled Investment
    account due to the September 15 treasury interest and December 31 CD
    interest accrual.
  5. Explain how the investment trust fund would report the General
    Fund’s interest in the investment pool and the Albertville School’s
    interest in the investment pool.
