ACC 100 Study Guide - Final Guide: Financial Statement, Accounts Payable, Current Liability
Document Summary
Liabiliies are divided between current (due in the upcoming 12 months) and long-term liabiliies (due ater 1 year) on the balance sheet. They are shown in order of when they are due. Under current liabiliies accounts payable is always listed first, followed by all the other current liabiliies. If there is no informaion about when the other current liabiliies are due then their order can be random, as long as accounts payable is listed irst. For long term liabiliies the order is again when they are due. For instance, if you have two loans, one due in 2 years and one due in 10 years, the one due in 2 years would always be listed irst. An example of the liabiliies secion of the balance sheet is provided below. On the income statement, if it is a single step, all of the expenses are listed together in order of magnitude (largest to smallest amount).
