Question

Karin Company's loan is due on July 1, 2018. What conditions must Karin meet (at a minimum) so that the note can be classified as a long-term liability on the company's balance sheet at December 31, 2017

Answer 1

Answer: D. A & C

Explanation:

A long term liability is one that is due to be paid in a period longer than a year. The loan is due in less than a year so the only way to classify it as a long term liability is to make it a loan that will extend past a year. This can be done through refinancing which is to replace the current loan with another loan.  

Karin's company therefore would need to demonstrate that the obligation can be refinanced on a long-term basis by them and they must also have the intention to do so as well.
