b. General Fund: TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES PAYABLE 1,460,000 EXPENDITURES—2011 36,500 CASH 1,496,500
Governmental Activities: TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES PAYABLE 1,460,000 EXPENSES—INTEREST ON TANs 36,500 CASH 1,496,500
(Note: Interest on notes is $1,460,000 X .05 X 6/12 =$36,500)
4-4. a. Revenues = levy – (.02 X levy) = .98 X levy = $2,660,000
Levy = $2,660,000 ÷ .98 = $2,714,286 (rounded to nearest dollar)
Rate X (assessed valuation ÷ 100) = levy
Rate = levy ÷ (assessed valuation ÷ 100)
Rate = $2,714,286 ÷ 1,357,143 = $2.00 per $100 of assessed valuation
