sir, can u please explain the answer of Q;1?
November 29, 2019 at 3:13 pm
Good day sir,
The first option in question one stated that the liability occured during the accounting period,so I thought it would be classified as a current liability.
But from the answer it is stating otherwise, please kindly explain further sir..thank you sir
October 19, 2022 at 3:49 am
The liability has arised during the current accounting period just ended. It is not stated that it is current liability or non-current liability. The question asks “not necessarilty” lead to rise in current liability.
