The amount of short term notes payable reported as Current liabilities (CL) on December 31, 2006 is $500,000

Explanation:

The amount of short term notes payable reported as Current liabilities (CL) on December 31, 2006 is computed as:

Amount of short term notes payable = Short term notes payable due on Feb 14 - Borrowed from County Bank

where

Short term notes payable due on Feb 14 is $2,000,000

Borrowed from County Bank is $1,500,000

Putting the values above:

Amount of short term notes payable = $2,000,000 - $1,500,000

Amount of short term notes payable = $500,000
