Mandated and Voluntary.

For each of the following revenue transactions affecting the city, identify the class in which the revenue
falls and prepare an appropriate fund journal entry for the current year (2018) as necessary.

1. The city imposes a $100 tax on each sale of real estate. The tax is collected by the title companies
that process the sales and must be forwarded to the city within 30 days of the transaction. In December
there were 600 sales of real estate. As of year-end the city had collected $40,000 of the $60,000 that it
was owed.
