    A) credit appropriations control

    Explanation:

    The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) sets rules for public entities, and its rules states that appropriations must be credited once they are authorized. The government entity should also debit estimated revenues and debit/credit any differences in fund balances.

    The appropriate journal entry to record this transaction should be:

    July 31, Year 1:

    Dr Estimated revenues 100,000

    Cr Appropriations control 80,000

    Cr Budgetary fund balance 20,000
