Question

A company has the following liabilities at year end:

Mortgage note payable; $16,000 due within 12 months
$355,000
Short-term debt that the company is refinancing with long-term debt
175,000
Deferred tax liability arising from depreciation
25,000
What amount should the company include in the current liability section of the balance sheet?

a) $0
b) $16,000
c) $41,000
d) $191,000

Answer 1

B) $16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Current liabilities are debt that must be paid within a 12 month period.

The total value of the notes payable is $355,000, but only $16,000 is due within 12 months. The $175,000 of short term debt has been refinanced and reclassified as long term debt. The $25,000 of deferred tax liability is also non current.
