Problem 1 - The City of South Pittsburgh maintains its books so as to prepare fund accounting statements and record worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide statements. You are to prepare, in journal form, worksheet adjustments for each of the following situations:

1. Deferred inflows of resources -property taxes of $69,400 at the end of the previous fiscal year were recognized as property tax revenue in the current year's Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Change in Fund Balance.

2. The City levied property taxes for the current fiscal year in the amount of $10,000,000. When making the entries, it was estimated that 2 percent of the taxes would not be collected. At year-end, $600,000 of the taxes had not been collected. It was estimated that $320,000 of that amount would be collected during the 60-day period after the end of the fiscal year and that $80,000 would be collected after the time. The City had recognized the maximum of property taxes allowable under the modified accrual accounting.
