A consulting actuary calculated that per an accepted actuarial cost method, the city should contribute $225,000 to its firefighters’ pension fund for benefits earned in 2007. However, the city contributed only$170,000, the amount budgeted at the start of the year.3. The city acquired three police cars for $35,000 cash each. The vehicles are expected to last for three years.4. On December 1, 2007, the city invested $99,000 in short-term commercial paper (promissory notes). The notes matured on January 1, 2008.

On January 3, 2007, the city acquired another $10 million office building, financing this facility with twenty five- year term bonds. These bonds will be repaid entirely when they mature on January 1, 2032. The useful life of this building is also twenty-five years.7.
