Assets Liaiblities

current current

cash 65,000 interest payable 27,000

prepaid rent: 19,500

marketable 55,000

non-current non current

prepaid rent 19,500 notes payable 230,000

marketable sec 55,000

Explanation:

We must determinate the current and non-current portion of assets and liaibilities:

current assets: will convert to cash within a year or is cash

crrent liaibility: obligation within a year

prepaid rent:

it is for 2-years therefore half is current (within a year) and half is non current.

39,000 / 2 = 19,500

notes payables:

the interest accrued are current as will be paid within 2022

the principal don't

marketable securities: 110,000 and a half will be sold the rest will be kept.

Last, cash is alwas current as the definition of current is that can be converted into cahs within 12 months

The cash already is cash
