Two key features:
1. Company expects to pay the debt from existing current
assets or through the creation of other current
liabilities.
2. Company will pay the debt within one year or the
operating cycle, whichever is longer.

LO 1 Explain a current liability and identify the major types of current liabilities.
Current liabilities include notes payable, accounts payable, unearned revenues, and accrued liabilities such as taxes, salaries and wages, and interest.
What is a Current Liability?
10-6
To be classified as a current liability, a debt must be
expected to be paid:
a. out of existing current assets.
b. by creating other current liabilities.
c. within 2 years.
d. both (a) and (b).
LO 1 Explain a current liability and identify the major types of current liabilities.

10-7 LO 2 Describe the accounting for notes payable.
Notes Payable
Written promissory note.
Usually require the borrower to pay interest.
Those due within one year of the balance sheet date are
usually classified as current liabilities.

Illustration: First National Bank agrees to lend $100,000 on
September 1, 2014, if Cole Williams Co. signs a $100,000, 12%,
four-month note maturing on January 1. When a company issues
an interest-bearing note, the amount of assets it receives
generally equals the note’s face value.

Bonds are a form of interest-bearing notes payable issued
by corporations, universities, and governmental agencies.
Sold in small denominations (usually $1,000 or multiples of
$1,000).
When a corporation issues bonds, it is borrowing money. The
person who buys the bonds (the bondholder) is investing in
bonds.

► Issued to the investor.
► Provides name of the company issuing bonds, face

rate.
Face value - principal due at the maturity.
Maturity date - date final payment is due.
Contractual interest rate – rate to determine cash interest
paid, generally semiannually.

The process of finding the present value is referred to as discounting the future amounts.

LO 4 Identify the types of bonds.
The current market price (present value) of a bond is a function of
three factors:
1. the dollar amounts to be received,
2. the length of time until the amounts are received, and
3. the market rate of interest.

Helpful Hint Bond prices vary inversely with changes in the market interest rate. As market interest rates decline, bond prices increase. When a bond is issued, if the market interest rate is below the contractual rate, the bond price is higher than the face value.

Karson Inc. issues 10-year bonds with a maturity value of $200,000. If the bonds are issued at a premium, this indicates that:
a. the contractual interest rate exceeds the market interest rate.
b. the market interest rate exceeds the contractual interest rate.
c. the contractual interest rate and the market interest rate are the same.
d. no relationship exists between the two rates.

Sale of bonds below face value causes the total cost of borrowing to be more than the bond interest paid.
The reason: Borrower is required to pay the bond discount at the maturity date. Thus, the bond discount is considered to be a increase in the cost of borrowing.

Sale of bonds above face value causes the total cost of borrowing to be less
than the bond interest paid.
The reason: The borrower is not required to pay the bond premium at the
maturity date of the bonds. Thus, the bond premium is considered to be a
reduction in the cost of borrowing.

When a company retires bonds before maturity, it is necessary
to:
1. eliminate the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption
date;
2. record the cash paid; and
3. recognize the gain or loss on redemption.
The carrying value of the bonds is the face value of the bonds less unamortized bond discount or plus unamortized bond premium at the redemption date.

May be secured by a mortgage that pledges title to specific

Typically, the terms require the borrower to make installment
payments over the term of the loan. Each payment consists of
1. interest on the unpaid balance of the loan and
2. a reduction of loan principal.
Companies initially record mortgage notes payable at face

Long-Term Notes Payable
10-71
Key Points
Liabilities are defined by the IASB as a present obligation of the
entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected
to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying
economic benefits. Liabilities may be legally enforceable via a
contract or law but need not be. That is, they can arise due to
normal business practices or customs.
IFRS requires that companies classify liabilities as current or non-
current on the face of the statement of financial position (balance
sheet) except in industries where a presentation based on liquidity
would be considered to provide more useful information (such as
financial institutions). When current liabilities are presented, they are
generally presented in order of liquidity.LO 11
10-72
Key Points
Under IFRS, liabilities are classified as current if they are expected
to be paid within 12 months.
Similar to GAAP, items are normally reported in order of liquidity.
Companies sometimes show liabilities before assets. Also, they will
sometimes show non-current (long-term) liabilities before current
liabilities.
Under both GAAP and IFRS, preferred stock that is required to be
redeemed at a specific point in time in the future must be reported
as debt, rather than being presented as either equity or in a
“mezzanine” area between debt and equity.
LO 11 Compare the accounting procedures for liabilities under GAAP and IFRS.
10-73
Key Points
Under IFRS, companies sometimes will net current liabilities against
current assets to show working capital on the face of the statement
of financial position. (This is evident in the Zetar financial
statements in Appendix C.)
IFRS requires use of the effective-interest method for amortization
of bond discounts and premiums. GAAP allows use of the straight-
line method where the difference is not material. Under IFRS,
companies do not use a premium or discount account but instead
show the bond at its net amount.
LO 11 Compare the accounting procedures for liabilities under GAAP and IFRS.
10-74
Key Points
Unlike GAAP, IFRS splits the proceeds from the convertible bond
between an equity component and a debt component. The equity
conversion rights are reported in equity.
Both Boards share the same objective of recording leases by
lessees and lessors according to their economic substance—that is,
according to the definitions of assets and liabilities. However, GAAP
for leases is much more “rules-based,” with specific bright-line
criteria (such as the “90% of fair value” test) to determine if a lease
arrangement transfers the risks and rewards of ownership. IFRS is
more conceptual in its provisions. Rather than a 90% cut-off, it asks
whether the agreement transfers substantially all of the risks and
rewards associated with ownership.LO 11

Key Points
Under GAAP, some contingent liabilities are recorded in the
financial statements, others are disclosed, and in some cases no
disclosure is required. Unlike GAAP, IFRS reserves the use of the
term contingent liability to refer only to possible obligations that are
not recognized in the financial statements but may be disclosed if
certain criteria are met.
For those items that GAAP would treat as recordable contingent
liabilities, IFRS instead uses the term provisions. Provisions are
defined as liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Under IFRS, the
measurement of a provision related to an uncertain obligation is
based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
obligation.LO 11

Looking to the Future
The FASB and IASB are currently involved in two projects. One project is
investigating approaches to differentiate between debt and equity
instruments. The other project, the elements phase of the conceptual
framework project, will evaluate the definitions of the fundamental building
blocks of accounting. In addition to these projects, the FASB and IASB
have also identified leasing as one of the most problematic areas of
accounting. A joint project will initially focus primarily on lessee accounting.
One of the first areas to be studied is, “What are the assets and liabilities
to be recognized related to a lease contract?” Should the focus remain on
the leased item or the right to use the leased item? This question is tied to
the Boards’ joint project on the conceptual framework—defining an “asset” and a “liability.”
