In the next calendar year, the company will pay $21,000 of the principal. What is total amount of the notes that will be reported as current liabilities on its balance sheet

Respuesta :

Answer:

The question is missing the below options:

a.$40,000

b.$71,000

c.$229,000

d.$31,000

$31,000 ,option D is the correct answer as explained below.

Explanation:

The first long-term loan notes provides that an equal amount of principal is repayable every year,which implies that the amount of principal amount repayable is loan value divided by 5 years.

In other words, the principal amount repayable on the first loan notes is $10,000 ($50,000/5 years) per year.

The total amount repayable next year on both loan notes that should be classified as current liabilities this year is $31, 000 ($21000+$10000), since the principal repayment on this second loan notes is $21000
