You are a new staff accountant for the city of Namtip. The city has only five governmental funds (General, Special Revenue, Capital Projects, Endowment, and Debt Service) and no Proprietary or Trust/Agency Funds. Cecile Hockafinger III, Chief Accounting Officer for the city of Namtip, prepared the attached PC Excel® file (Namtip 2015.xls) to assist in the preparation of the governmental activities of the government wide financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2015 (fiscal year (FY) 2015). So far, Cecile has entered the pre-closing balances of each of the governmental funds on the worksheet. Additionally, he has entered the beginning balances (January 1, 2015) for the General Capital Assets and General Long-term Liability nonfund accounts. He also setup the general format for completing the worksheet. Unfortunately, before he could make the appropriate adjusting, elimination, and reclassification entries to make the GASB 34 conversion and complete the worksheet, Cecile’s Army Reserve unit was activated and he will be unable to return to work for at least two months. Since you are the only other accounting employee to ever taken a governmental accounting course, the city manager has asked to complete the task Cecile started.You will need to calculate the individual account balances for the Total Combined Funds and GCA/GLTL Accounts. Then you are to prepare all of the adjusting, elimination, and reclassification entries on the worksheet that are necessary to compute the balances for the governmental activities of the government wide financial statements. All entries should be in whole dollars (i.e., no decimals) without dollar signs. You should use compound entries whenever it is logical to do. Additional information is provided below to assist you in this assignment on page 3. To leave a trail of your entries, you should number your entries using Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). Be sure to put the journal entry number in Dr Ref column left of the Dr Column of the Adjustments and Eliminations as well as the journal entry number in Cr Ref column right of the Cr Column of the Adjustments and Eliminations. In the case of any compound journal entries, you should indicate journal entry number for each debit or credit amount that you enter. If journal entry 25 consists of debits of $45,000 and $5,000 and credits of $35,000 and $15,000 you would enter the following on the appropriate lines of the accounts involved:
