Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Current liabilities are obligations that are expected to be settled within the next year or operating cycle, whichever is longer. They are listed in order of expected maturity on the balance sheet and include accounts payable, wages payable, taxes payable, and short-term loans among others. Long-term debt that is expected to be paid within the next year should also be included in current liabilities.
