b. Amounts owed to the utility company - CL (Current Liabilities)
c. Building owned by the company - LTA (Long-Term Assets)
d. Current portion of long-term debt - CL (Current Liabilities)
Explanation:
If a company has an obligation but payable after one year from the end of respective reporting period, such obligation shall be considered as Long-Term Liabilities. So, 15 year lease obligation is classified as LTL.
If a company has an obligation but payable within one year from the end of respective reporting period, such obligation shall be considered as Current Liabilities. So, Amount owed to the utility company and Current portion of long-term debt are classified as CL.
If a company owns an asset which has life of more than one year, such asset shall be considered as Long-Term Asset. So, Building owned by the company is classified as LTA.
