Answer 1

Answer: $ 66,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Payables which are due for payment within a one year period from the balance sheet date are considered as current liability. The amounts to be considered in the current liability section of the balance sheet are as follows:

Accounts Payable $ 26,700

Salaries Payable $ 17,800

Note payable Due 2017 $ 21,700

Total Payables in CL $ 66,200

The Bond payable due in 2025 of $ 23,800 and Note Payable due 2021 of $ 41,700 are not considered as they are payable beyond one year from date of balance sheet
