Ford County is responsible for collecting $2,000,000 in property taxes for the consolidated school district and $500,000 in property taxes for a town within the county. 2% of all taxes levied are expected to be uncollectible. So, the amount of Taxes Receivable for Other Governments - Current and Due to Other Governments is $2,000,000 + $500,000 - 2% * ($2,000,000 + $500,000) = $2,450,000.
