  1. Dunellen City, covered in this problem, issues a $10,000,000 bond at face value. The cash is to be used for the construction of a fire station.
  2. Previously undesignated cash of $100,000 from the General Fund is set aside to begin paying the bonds issued in item (1).
  3. A state cash grant of $300,000 is received that must be spent in the future for updates to parks facilities. The grant proceeds are held until the updating work is started.
  4. Cash of $200,000 is transferred from the General Fund for construction of the fire station.
  5. Investments valued at $700,000 are received as a donation from a grateful citizen. Income from the investments is to be used for children's programs.
  6. Salaries of $75,000 are paid to workers updating the facilities in Main Street Park according to the requirements of the grant received in item 3.
  7. The fire station is completed and a check is sent to the primary contractor for $10,200,000. No commitment had previously been recorded for the contract.
  8. Nothing has yet been recorded this year regarding scheduled payments on the general obligation bonds. A cash payment of $50,000 is made that consists of $45,000 of interest and $5,000 of principal. The interest had not been previously accrued.
