The City of Davidson decided to open a motor pool to provide transportation service for all departments. During the first year, July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, only passenger cars will be available, and a uniform mileage rate will be charged.
A permanent contribution of $1,500,000 cash was received from the General Fund and a $1,000,000 long-term loan was received from the Enterprise Fund to support the purchase of fixed assets. Interest at the rate of 6 percent per year is to be paid on the unpaid balance of the loan; principal in the amount of $200,000 is to be repaid each year.

At the beginning of the first year, the following are purchased for cash: land, $100,000; buildings (30-year life), $300,000; equipment (5-year life), $150,000; automobiles (4-year life), $1,600,000; and fuel and supplies, $100,000. Depreciation expense is to be computed by the straight-line method, assuming no salvage value.

During the first year, salaries are expected to amount to $265,000, and the cost of fuel and supplies used is expected to amount to $250,000.
