Preston Village engaged in the following transactions: It issued $20 million in bonds to purchase a new municipal office building. The proceeds were recorded in a capital projects fund. It acquired the building for $20 million. It recognized, as appropriate, $300,000 of depreciation on municipal vehicles. It transferred $2,060,000 from the general fund to a debt service fund. It paid $60,000 in interest on long‐term debt and repaid $2 million of principal on the same long‐term debt. It sold for $5 million village land that had been acquired for $4 million. The proceeds were recorded in the general fund. For each of the transactions, prepare journal entries to record them in appropriate governmental funds (which are accounted for on a modified accrual basis). Prepare journal entries to reflect how the transactions would be reflected in government‐wide statements (which are prepared on a full accrual basis).
