- Voters of Valdez School District, a public school district, approved construction of a new high school at a cost not to exceed $20 million. The district will finance the construction by issuing $20 million of 6 percent term bonds payable in 20 years. Because the site had already been prepared, the school district began construction immediately but the bonds would not be issued for nearly a year. Shortly before the fiscal year-end, the school district borrowed $5 million from a local bank due in one year with interest at 6.2 percent. The note will be repaid from bond proceeds. The school district secured a financing agreement with the bank to convert the debt to a 10-year debt if the school district is unable to sell the bonds by the due date. At year-end, how should the $5 million note be displayed in the government-wide financial statements? A.) Notes payable-long term $5 million; B.) Notes payable-short term $5 million; C.) Nothing D.)

Late in the year, after the city had spent virtually the entire $1,300,000, a major storm washed out portions of several roads leading to the elementary school. The school was inaccessible, and the mayor wanted to enter into an emergency contract to repair the roads. City engineers estimated that the cost of the repairs would be about $350,000. If the city entered into such a contract, the total amount spent on road maintenance for the year would be higher than the amount authorized. Recognizing the need for prompt action, the mayor immediately entered into the contract without seeking prior city council approval. What are the legal, financial, and accounting systems implications of this scenario?arrow_forward
