Table (1)
Working note 1: Compute premium on bonds:
It can be computed by multiplying serial bond payable amount with the rate of premium. The rate of premium is computed by deducting the face value from the selling value. Hence, the rate of premium is 2%
Hence, the premium on bonds amount is $100,000.
Working note 2: Compute the interest expense on special assessment debt:
Given: The rate of interest is 6% and the interest is paid prior to four months. The special assessment bonds are $500,000.
Hence, the interest expense on special assessment debt amount is $10,000 for the four months prior to year-end.

For convenience, assume that, at the start of 2017, the school system and the city have no assets. During the year, the city assessed $400,000 in property taxes. Of this amount, it collected $320,000 during the year, received $50,000 within a few weeks after the end of the year, and expected the remainder to be collected about six months later.

The City attorney estimates the City will be held liable by the courts and a judgment of $200,000 will result. Because of the nature of the case it will likely be four years before the City makes any payment related to the accident. The present value of the likely future payment is $167,000.
