A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/19

Explanation
Only accrued expenses qualify as current liabilities Steps:
- List all items: prepaid expenses (asset, current), accrued expenses (liability, current), bank balances (asset, current; net if overdraft), loan (liability, long-term due to 10-year term).
- Exclude assets: prepaid expenses and bank balances do not count toward liabilities.
- Classify liabilities: accrued expenses are current (due within one year); loan is non-current.
- Sum current liabilities: only accrued expenses at $8,125.
Why C is correct:
- Accrued expenses represent obligations due soon, fitting the definition of current liabilities under accounting standards (due within one year).
Why the others are wrong:
- A and B incorrectly add bank credit or other non-liabilities, inflating the total.
- D likely includes the long-term loan, which is not current.
Final answer: C
