funds to borrow. In case of borrowings with high amounts, companies prefer longer maturities, so that it is expected to be easier to pay the loan back and protect the liquidity of company at the same time. Companies pay these loans in installments, which include some part of principal and accrued interest together. Therefore, even long-term borrowings have repayment obligations in short term. In other words, some part of the long-term loan matures within one year (or operating cycle length) as of balance sheet date. This part to be paid in the next financial statement term is classified as Current Portion of Long Term Loan. The correct answer is B.

Whenever a good or service is delivered, Value Added Tax (VAT) occurs. VAT is a kind of sales tax. The tax amount is calculated from the revenue (not income as in income tax) by using VAT rates on the delivered product or service. In a sales transaction, the seller receives an amount including both the sales price and VAT. VAT is not included in revenue because the seller collects the value added tax from customers on behalf of the government. On the other hand, the seller also pays VAT to the suppliers while purchasing goods. When the goods and services are delivered, the amount of tax is recorded as VAT received, and in cases of purchases, it is VAT paid account that the amount is recorded in. At the end of each fiscal year, these two accounts on VAT are considered. If VAT received exceeds the VAT paid, this means the seller company has collected more than what it has already paid to government as VAT. Then at year-end, a liability account should be recorded: VAT Payable. Company has to pay this amount to tax office. In opposite case, where VAT paid is more than VAT received, this means that the company has paid more tax. Then, it collected from customers on behalf of government. The excess amount is recorded in an asset account; VAT Deductible. This amount represents a tax receivable from government and is carried forward to the next year in order to be deducted from VAT tax liability.

If a present obligation exists but the amount to settle the obligation cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is a contingent liability. The correct answer is E.

Liquidity is an indicator of reliability level for a company in terms of either survival or credibility.The correct answer is B.

In order to assess the company from these perspectives, investors and creditors generally imply ratio analysis, as well as other financial statement analysis methods. Ratios, which are calculated by dividing a financial statement item with another, help users with analyzing the company from different perspectives. Ratios (such as current ratio, acid-test ratio, operating cash flows ratio, net working capital ratio, interest coverage ratio) represent the riskiness and creditworthiness of companies to investors and creditors.Ratios represent the relationships between financial statement items to make it possible to assess the financial position and performance of companies. The correct answer is E.

Liability” is defined as the present obligation of a company arising from past events and fulfillment of which causes outflow of economic benefits in terms of payments of cash, transfer of assets or rendering of services. From another perspective, with a very basic level definition, liability represents the part of financing that a company provides from resources other than claims of its equity owners. Depending on their maturities, liabilities are classified as “current liabilities” and “non-current liabilities”. The term “current” means “in the same period”, which stands for either “the same 12-months period” or “the same operating cycle”, whichever is longer. If it takes more than 12-months after the purchase of raw materials to produce and sell products and collect the receivables in return, this means that the operating cycle is more than 12 months for that company. In other words, the time needed by the company to provide funds from its operations and fulfill its liabilities is more than 12 months; thus, the term “current” proxies for the operating cycle. All expenses should be recorded in the periods they incur; so that the performance of the company can be assessed accurately, as its income statement covers all revenues and expenses for that period. Recognition of expenses do not require a cash outflow. Therefore, expenses are recognized in income statement even if they are not paid yet. When an expense incurs but the payment will be made in other periods, companies should also record a liability to be settled in future periods. That liability is called “accrued expenses”. Completely opposite situation, in which the company collects cash in advance but the goods or service will be delivered in other periods, also required the company to recognize a liability. However, this time the name of liability is “unearned revenue”. In short, the term “accrual” refers to expenses that are incurred but unpaid, while “unearned revenue” refers to future revenues that are collected but not delivered yet.The correct answer is D.

It is vitally important for a company to pay its current liabilities. What is called “current” is either the benefits to be received, or obligations to be met in one-year period. Combining these two definitions, companies care about the ability of current assets to meet current liabilities. If the current assets cannot match current liabilities, companies will have to either convert their non-current assets, which are usually used in providing capacity for operations, into current assets (in most cases cash) or will have to extend the maturities to longer terms with an additional amount of interest. Therefore, companies operating with too much share of current liability in total financing is usually accepted as too much risky to either invest or lend. On the other hand, if the company finances its operations mostly by using long-term financing options, the cost of financing will incur more compared to short-term financing, in terms of either interest or dividends. The correct answer is C.
