Some of this value will be repaid in coming 2019, this part that will be repaid in 2019 along with first installment of $100000 will be classified as ‘’Current Liability”. The remaining part will be classified as “Long Term portion of Notes Payable” for Dec 31, 2018.

First Installment to be paid on Dec 31, 2019 = $100000
Interest expense included in that $100000 = 500000 x 8% = $40,000
Hence, liability portion that is repaid with $100000 = 100000 – 40000 = $60,000 will be repaid in 2019.

Current Liability:
Notes Payable (short term part) = $60,000

Long Term Liability:
Notes Payable (long term part) = $440,000 [500000 – 60000]
