GOV-General LT Obligations Flashcards
Orange Township has two general obligation bond issues outstanding. One is for $2,000,000 and the other is for $3,000,000. Cash of $62,500 has been set aside in debt service funds, per the annual budget, to pay the interest due on these issues January 1, 20X2. What is the net liability that must be shown in the fund-based statements prepared as of December 31, 20X1?
The debt is a long-term liability and would not appear on the balance sheets of the governmental funds, although it would be reported in the governmental activities section of the government-wide statement of net position. The interest that is due very early in the following year has been deposited in the debt service funds. The expenditure for debt service would usually be recognized in the year of payment.
