- Long-term Liability Transactions. Following are a number of unrelated transactions for the Village of Centerville, some of which affect governmental activities at the government-wide level. None of the transactions have been recorded yet.
- The General Fund collected and transferred $750,000 in tax collections to the debt service fund; $600,000 of this amount was used to retire outstanding serial bonds and the remainder was used to make the interest payment on the outstanding serial bonds.
- A $5,000,000 issue of serial bonds to finance a capital project was sold at 102 plus accrued interest in the amount of $50,000. The accrued interest and the premium were recorded in the debt service fund. Accrued interest on bonds sold must be used for interest payments; the premium is designated by state law for eventual payment of bond principal.
- The debt service fund made a $110,000 capital lease payment, of which $15,809 was interest. Funds used to make the lease payment came from a capital grant received by the special revenue fund.
- Tax-supported serial bonds with a $2,800,000 par value were issued in cash to permit partial refunding of a $3,500,000 par value issue of term bonds. The difference was settled with $700,000 that had been accumulated in prior years in a debt service fund. Assume that the term bonds had been issued several years earlier at par.
- Four months prior to year-end, 6 percent special assessment bonds totaling $500,
- 000 were issued to fund a streetlight improvement project in a local subdivision. The bonds are secondarily backed by the village. The first $25,000 installment will be due from property owners six months after the initial bond issuance, but no debt payments are due in the first year.
- Marketable equity securities held by the debt service fund increased in value by $10,000 during the year.
