Answer 1

Answer: Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.

Explanation: Account payable as a liability arises on account of credit purchases and therefore, are amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit. While accounts payable can be either a short-term or a long-term liability based on the duration available to pay the same, they are typically paid within thirty or sixty days which makes them current liabilities. However, the duration of credit that is available to companies making such purchases are based on both the credibility of such companies, the history of past purchases and how timely they repay their debts.
