To explain: The reason for not permanently recording the fixed assets acquired with proceeds from general obligation bond issue.
Explanation of Solution
The fixed assets acquired with proceeds from general obligation bond issue are not recorded permanently because these must be repaid. As amount acquired from bond issues must be repaid after a period, in the same way, any fixed asset acquired from bond issue must have to be repaid at the time of redemption.
Acquisition of these assets does not provide ownership right and it is not considered as the property of the government, that is why these assets are not recorded permanently in capital project fund.
