What amount will be reported as current and long-term liabilities, respectively, in connection with the note at December 31, 2018, after the first payment is made?

Answer 1

Current liabilities $3.2 million

long-term liabilities =$16 million-$3.2 million-$3.2 million=$9.6 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount classified as current liabilities as at 31st December 2018 is the portion of the loan repayable within a year,that the repayment due at 31st December 2019 which is $3.2 million.
