Study Notes
Current Liabilities
- Notes Payable is a written promissory note that a company issues to a lender.
- Interest-Bearing Note is a note that pays interest to the lender.
- Face Value is the principal amount of a note.
- Maturity Value is the principal amount plus the accrued interest on a note.
- Current Liabilities are debts that a company expects to pay within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.
- Operating Cycle is the time it takes to purchase inventory, sell it, and collect the cash from the customer.
- Sales Taxes Payable is the amount of sales taxes that a company has collected from customers but has not yet remitted to the government.
- Working Capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. A lower working capital may lead to liquidity issues (not enough cash to cover day-to-day expenses).
- Current Ratio is a measure of a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. A higher current ratio signifies better liquidity. The calculation for the current ratio is: Current Assets / Current Liabilities.
- Warranty Expense is an expense that companies recognize to cover the cost of repairs or replacements under a warranty.
- Warranty Liability is a liability that a company recognizes to represent its estimated future warranty costs. The expense recognition principle requires that companies recognize warranty expense in the period in which the product was sold.
- Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt are portions of long-term debt that become due within one year and are classified as current liabilities.
- Prepaid Expenses are not current liabilities because they represent assets, as the company has already paid for them. They are eventually expensed as the goods or services are received.
