    Journal entry should be calculated as Revenues-Property taxes $8,000

    Net position 8,000

    Answer: Option A

    Explanation:

    The property taxes which are deferral in nature are the taxes related to the property where the government and it's officials makes no longer any efforts to collect the tax from that particular property.

    That is because that particular property belongs to a person who is either above the age of sixty five years or is disabled. Therefore that property is not qualified for paying any taxes. So the entry in the journal will be revenue from property tax to net position.
