Margaret Gibbs · Answer 1

Current liabilities $3.2 million

long-term liabilities = $16 million-$3.2 million-$3.2 million=$9.6 million

Explanation:

The amount classified as current liabilities as at 31st December 2018 is the portion of the loan repayable within a year, that the repayment due at 31st December 2019 which is $3.2 million.

The amount to be classified as long term liabilities is the balance of the loan after having taken out the payment in year 1 as well as the repayment to be made in year 2
