Document Summary

Liability: debts or obligations that a company has from past transactions that will be paid through assets or services (ie. notes payable, accounts payable) When a liability is first recorded, it is measured in terms of its current cash equivalent, which is the cash amount that a creditor would accept to settle the liability immediately. Liabilities are very important from an analytical perspective because they affect a company"s future cash flows and risk characteristics. Different types of liabilities are categorized differently (ie. short-term notes payable, income tax payable) Most liabilities are recorded as they occur, others need to be adjusted. Current cash equivalent: the cash amount that a creditor would accept to settle the liability immediately. In terms of different types of notes payable, there is usually an interest expense. Interest payable in the future is not included in the amount of the liability because it accrues (increases over time) and becomes a liability with the passage of time.
