Total liabilities = capital + long-term liabilities + Current Liabilities + profits 

Total liabilities - capital - long-term liabilities -alarabah = Current Liabilities 

- =10000

Ahmed Abdi Mahad
by Ahmed Abdi Mahad , Director of Internal Auditing Directorate , Jigjiga University

Given:

 

ABC capital = $100,000

 

LT liability = $50,000

 

Total liability = $175,000

 

Net income = $15,000

 

Required: Current liability?

Solution:

Current liability = Total liability - Long term liability

 

Current liability = $175,000 - $50,000

 

Current liability = $125,000

 

So, as you can see from the above calculation, none of the multiple choices given above can stand as an answer for total amount of the current liability. In other words, the multiple choices provided to answer this question is incomplete.
