Special Topics: Revision of the General Fund Budget
During the fiscal year, comparisons should be made of budgeted amounts to actual amounts. A review may be necessary to determine whether the budget appears realistic or whether changes should be made in light of current information.
If the budget is legally amended, appropriate journal entries should be made to record the changes.

The administrators have determined that the budget should be legally amended to reflect following changes:
Charges for services are expected to be $15,000 more than originally budgeted.
There will be a 50,000 decrease in appropriation for public works and 80,000 increase in appropriation for public safety.

Special Topic: Receipt of Goods Ordered in Prior Year
Purchase orders and other commitments may be issued in one year, while the goods and services are received in the following year. In this case, the encumbrance account is not closed at year end.
When the goods or services are provided, they are considered an expenditure of the prior year, to the extent of the amount that was encumbered and did not lapse.
Any excess over the encumbrance amount is considered an expenditure of the year in which the goods or services are received.

Example
All goods and services for which encumbrances were outstanding at the end of 2019 are received in 2020 at a total invoice cost of 127,250. The estimated amount was 127,000.
Question: How much do we charge to expenditure-2019 and expenditure-2020?
