8–10. The City of South Pittsburgh maintains its books so as to prepare fund accounting statements and records worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide statements. You are to prepare, in journal form, worksheet adjustments for each of the following situations:

2. The City levied property taxes for the current fiscal year in the amount of $10,000,000. When making the entries, it was estimated that 2 percent of the taxes would not be collected. At year-end, $600,000 of the taxes had not been collected. It was estimated that $300,000 of that amount would be collected during the 60-day period after the end of the fiscal year and that $100,000 would be collected after that time. The City had recognized the maximum of property taxes allowable under modified accrual accounting.
