1. Identification of Fiduciary Funds. Following is a list of fund names and descriptions from comprehensive annual financial reports (CAFRs). Indicate which of the following are fiduciary funds. If not a fiduciary fund, identify which type of fund should be used to account for the activities and explain why that fund is most appropriate.

  1. Tri-Centennial Fund. Accounts for money raised or contributed by several local area governments and other organizations. The purpose is to ensure availability of resources to celebrate the United States Tri-Centennial in 2076.
  2. Perpetual Care Fund. Accounts for endowed gifts and investment earnings dedicated to perpetual care of the city’s cemeteries.
  3. Poudre River Public Library District Fund. Accounts for cash and investments held by the city on behalf of Poudre River Public Library District.

  5. Cultural Services and Facilities Fund. Accounts for revenues received from the Lincoln Center performing arts facility, the city museum, and General Fund subsidies used to promote cultural activities for city residents.
  6. Payroll Fund. The city has established a fund in which all payroll deductions are reported.
  7. Telephone Commissions Fund. The city collects commissions on pay telephones used by jail inmates. The funds are used to provide inmates such benefits as library resources and fitness equipment.
  8. Block Grant Fund. The state receives federal funds for the homeless which it passes through to local not-for-profit organizations. The only responsibility the state has is to contribute an additional amount of funds (match) to the federal grant.
  9. Health Benefits Fund. The county has agreed to pay a portion of the health insurance premiums for employees when they retire. Contributions for the benefit are paid into this fund.
  10. Unclaimed Property Fund. The state has established a fund to account for abandoned and unclaimed property. The property is held in the fund for 10 years. If a legal claimant to the property is not found within the 10-year time period, the property reverts to the state.

2. Investment Trust Fund. The Albertville City Council decided to pool the investments of its General Fund with Albertville Schools and Richwood Township in an investment pool to be managed by the city. Each of the pool participants had reported its investments at fair value as of the end of 2016. At the date of creation of the pool, February 15, 2017, the fair value of the investments of each pool participant was as follows:

    4. Interest on CDs accrued at year-end amounted to $28,000.

Round the amount of the distribution to each fund or participant to the nearest dollar.
  3. Record the June 15 increase in each of the participant’s funds.
  4. Record the change in each participant’s Equity in Pooled Investment account due to the September 15 treasury interest and December 31 CD interest accrual.
