Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Before showing how short term debt should be presented before doing this we have to classify the items in each head

Like - In current liabilities, notes payable is recorded at $11,500  

And, in the long term liabilities, the proceed after brokerage fees for $1,147,500 should be recorded.

The total amount would remain the same i.e $1,159,000
