CHAPTER LERANING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain a current liability and identify the major types of current liabilities. A current
liability is a debt that a company can reasonably expect to pay (a) from existing current
assets or through the creation of other current liabilities, and (b) within one year or the
operating cycle, whichever is longer. The major types of current liabilities are notes payable,
accounts payable, sales taxes payable, unearned revenues, and accrued liabilities such as
taxes, salaries and wages, and interest payable.
2. Describe the accounting for notes payable. When a promissory note is interestbearing,
the amount of assets received upon the issuance of the note is generally equal to the face
value of the note, and interest expense is accrued over the life of the note. At maturity, the
amount paid is equal to the face value of the note plus accrued interest.
3. Explain the accounting for other current liabilities. Companies record sales taxes
payable at the time the related sales occur. The company serves as a collection agent for the
taxing authority. Sales taxes are not an expense to the company. Companies hold employee
withholding taxes, and credit them to appropriate liability accounts, until they remit these
taxes to the governmental taxing authorities. Unearned revenues are initially recorded in an
unearned revenue account. As the company recognizes revenue, a transfer from unearned
revenue to revenue occurs. Companies report the current maturities of long-term debt as a
current liability in the balance sheet.
4. Identify the types of bonds. The following different types of bonds may be issued: secured
and unsecured bonds, and convertible and callable bonds.

10-5
5. Prepare the entries for the issuance of bonds and interest expense. When companies
issue bonds, they debit Cash for the cash proceeds and credit Bonds Payable for the face
value of the bonds. In addition, they use the accounts Premium on Bonds Payable and
Discount on Bonds Payable to show the bond premium and bond discount, respectively.
Bond discount and bond premium are amortized over the life of the bond, which increases or
decreases interest expense, respectively.
6. Describe the entries when bonds are redeemed. When companies redeem bonds at
maturity, they credit Cash and debit Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. When
companies redeem bonds before maturity, they (a) eliminate the carrying value of the bonds
at the redemption date, (b) record the cash paid, and (c) recognize the gain or loss on
redemption.
7. Identify the requirements for the financial statement presentation and analysis of
liabilities. Current liabilities appear first on the balance sheet, followed by long-term
liabilities. Companies should report the nature and amount of each liability in the balance
sheet or in schedules in the notes accompanying the statements. They report inflows and
outflows of cash related to the principal portion of long-term debt in the financing section of
the statement of cash flows.
The liquidity of a company may be analyzed by computing the current ratio. The long-run
solvency of a company may be analyzed by computing the debt to assets ratio and the times
interest earned ratio. Other factors to consider are contingent liabilities and lease obligations.
*8. Apply the straight-line method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The
straight-line method of amortization results in a constant amount of amortization and interest
expense per period.
*9. Apply the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium.
The effective-interest method results in varying amounts of amortization and interest
expense per period but a constant percentage rate of interest. When the difference between
the straight-line and effective-interest method is material, GAAP requires use of the effective-
interest method.
*10. Describe the accounting for long-term notes payable. Each payment consists of (1)
interest on the unpaid balance of the loan, and (2) a reduction of loan principal. The interest
decreases each period, while the portion applied to the loan principal increases each period.
