Question

On December 31, 2019, Irey Co. has $3,000,000 of short-term notes payable due on February 14, 2020. On February 8, 2020, Irey borrowed $1,200,000 (long-term loan) from County Bank and used $1,000,000 additional cash to liquidate $2,200,000 of the short-term notes payable. The amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is

Answer 1

$1,800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given short term notes payable = $3,000,000

Total amount used to liquidate short term notes = $2,200,000

Balance = $3,000,000 - $2,200,000 = $800,000

The additional $1,200,000 which is borrowed from Country Bank will not increase the short term notes payable because it's a long term credit

The additional $1,000,000 cash used will now be added to the balance amount

Amount to be reported as current liabilities = $1,000,000 + $800,000

= $1,800,000

Therefore the amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is $1,800,000
