Verify accuracy of the adjustingentries and post to the general ledger by clicking [Post entries]. b. Closing Entries. Although closing entries were made in each fund in Chapters 4 through 6 ofthis cumulative problem, they have not yet been recorded at the government-wide level. Required: Record the journal entries required on December 31, 2020 to close all temporaryaccounts for governmental activities at the government-wide level. These entries should alsorecognize changes in the accounts Net Position—Net Investment in Capital Assets, NetPosition—Restricted for Public Safety (see General Fund), and Net Position—Restricted forCapital Projects (see Capital Projects Fund to calculate net position). (Note: Due to the needto deduct accrued interest on long—term debt in calculating the December 31, 2020balance of Net Position—Restricted for Debt Service you will end up with no restrictionon net position for debt service.)
