Journal entries for Capital Projects Fund transactions

At the start of 2019, Crotons Capital Projects Fund had no assets or liabilities. Prepare appropriate journal entries to record these transactions in the Capital Projects Fund. (We suggest you post the journal entries to general ledger T-accounts.)

1. Croton undertook construction of a new police station, designed to house both the Croton police and the county sheriff and to serve as a detention center. To finance construction, Croton received a cash grant of $1,000 from the county as an advance pending incurrence of expenditures. It also sold $2,000 of 20-year general obligation bonds. The bonds, sold April 1, 2019, were to be redeemed in equal semiannual installments of principal, with interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 5 percent per annum, starting October 1, 2019.
2. Croton awarded two contracts, one for architectural and construction supervision services ($200) and one for construction ($2,800).
3. The construction contract was completed in a timely manner, and the contractor submitted an invoice for $2,800. The invoice was paid, except that 5 percent was withheld, pending completion of inspection.
4. All construction and construction supervision work was completed. The construction architect/supervisor was paid in full, and the contractor was paid the balance due.
