Course/Unit Learning Outcomes Learning Activity 4.1 , 4.2, 4.3 Unit Lesson Chapter 11, pp. 11 -1 to 11 -23 Chapter 15, pp. 15 -1 to 15 -23 Unit VII Case Study Required Unit Resources Chapter 11: Current Liabilities and Payroll Accounting, pp. 11 -1 to 11 -23 Chapter 15: Long -Term Liabilities, pp. 15 -1 to 15 -23 Unit Lesson Liabilities It has been previously established that the accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. The accounting equation can also be written as Assets – Liabilities = Equity. In this equation, the liabilities of a business require the use of assets to satisfy the amount owed. There are two claims to the assets of a business; these claims are the creditors and the owners. This lesson will cover current liabilities (and payroll accounting) and long -term liabiliti es. A liability is an am ount owed to lenders, suppliers, or government agencies and requires the use of assets or future revenue to satisfy the debt. There are two categories of liabilities : current liabilities and long -term liabilities . A current liabi lity is the amount owed that must be paid within 1 year or within the company’s operating cycle — whichever is longer (Miller -Nobles et al. , 2018). The second liability is a long -term liability, which includes any liabilities that becom e due beyond a year (o r longer) . The most common current liability is accounts payable. An accounts payable is an amount due to a vendor for supplies or products and supplies or services (Miller -Nobles et al., 2018). Retail businesses will also have sales tax payable. Sales ta x payable is the amount of sales tax collected by the retailer that must be remitted UNIT VII STUDY GUIDE Current and Long -Term Liabilities BBA 2201, Principles of Accounting I 2 UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title to the tax agencies (Miller -Nobles et al., 2018). Because the accounts payable and sales tax payable are due within 1 year (generall y, due within 30 days), they are considered a current liability. Some businesses will receive cash paym ents in advance of providing a service, which is referred to as unearned revenue (or deferred revenue). Many gyms and fitness centers will have deferred revenue. If you have ever paid for a year -long membership at the beginning of the year to receive a discount, then you were involved in a transaction with unearned revenue. The gym does not earn the revenue until it has provided you with the monthly member ship. For example , if you were to purchase a 1-year membership for $600, the gym would debit cash for $600 and credit unearned revenue for $600 (a liability). As each month passes and you do not discontinue your membership, the gym will record revenue ev ery m onth. Each month , the gym will record $50 of revenue ($600 divided by 12 months). The gym will debit unearned revenue and credit revenue for $50. Long -term liabilities are liabilities that will become due beyond 1 year or beyond the company’s operat ing cycle (Miller -Nobles et al., 2018). A mortgage payable, note payable, or bonds payable are examples of long – term liabilities. Generally, most long -term liabilities have a current portion as well. Assume that a company has a 30 -year mortgage on its of fice building. The mortgage is $500,000, and payments are due monthly with an interest rate of 4.0%. The first year’s am ortization is shown below in Figure 1. BBA 2201, Principles of Accounting I 3 UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title In this case, the loan was entered into on January 1, 2015, for $500,000. The company would record a current liability for $8,057.94 and a long -term liability for $491,942.06. The current liability portion is shown as a current liability on the balance sheet and listed as a current portion of long -term debt . Also, notice that with each payment being made, the paym ent am ount remains the same, but the allocation between principal and interest changes with each payment. On this particular am ortization, the total paym ents of $ 2,387.08 will be $859,348.80 over 30 years. Of this amount, $500,000 is principal, and the rem aining $359,348.80 is interest expense. Conclusion This lesson focused on current liabilities (and payroll accounting) and long -term liabilities. Businesses of any kind ( e.g., for -profit s, nonprofit s, governmental, associations) will have liabilities during the normal course of business. Those liabilities m ay be short -term (less than 12 months) or long -term (longer than 12 months) Figure 1: Amortization example based on a 30 -year m ortgage of $500,000 BBA 2201, Principles of Accounting I 4 UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title liabilities . It is important to understand how businesses account for short – and long -term liabilities and to understand the proper presentation on financial statem ents.
