At December 31, 2018, Branch signed an agreement with First Bank to borrow up to $17,400,000 to refinance the notes on a long-term basis. The agreement specified that borrowings would not exceed 75% of the value of the collateral that Branch provided. At the date of issue of the December 31, 2018, financial statements, the value of Branch's collateral was $19,800,000. On its December 31, 2018, balance sheet, Branch should classify the notes as follows:
Multiple Choice
$4,350,000 long-term and $13,050,000 current liabilities.
$17,400,000 of long-term liabilities.
$17,400,000 of current liabilities.
$14,850,000 long-term and $2,550,000 current liabilities.
Answer: |
Given borrowings would not exceed 75% of the value of the collateral |
Long Term liabilities =
Branch's collateral x 75% = $19,800,000 x 75% = $14,850,000 |
Given Total Liabilities = $17,400,000 |
Current liabilities =
Total Liabilities (-) Long Term liabilities = $17,400,000 (-) $14,850,000 = $2,550,000 |
Option (D) is correct $14,850,000 long-term and $2,550,000 current liabilities. |
