c) Current liabilities, $450,000; Long-term Debt, $1,350,000.

Explanation:

The presentation of the long term liabilities of the balance sheet is presented below:

Liabilities section

Current liabilities

Note payable $450,000

Long term liabilities

Remaining balance $1,350,000

Total liabilities $1,800,000

Since the note payable is due for four years for $450,000 each so it shows the current liabilities and the remaining balance is transferred to the long term liabilities
