A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/O/N/22

Explanation
Accrual and classification of long-term loan interest Steps:
- Identify loan principal of $30,000 due in 10 years from November 2021, remaining over 9 years at 30 April 2022, classifying it as non-current liability.
- Compute annual interest: 1,800; since no interest paid by 30 April 2022, accrue full amount for the period as current liability.
- Separate principal and interest per accrual accounting: interest due soon is current, principal is non-current.
- Record in statement of financial position: current liabilities 30,000.
Why B is correct:
- IAS 1 requires liabilities classified by settlement timing; accrued interest settles within 12 months (current), principal beyond (non-current).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Omits accrued interest, violating accrual basis of accounting (IAS 1 and conceptual framework).
- C: Likely nets interest against principal (e.g., showing $28,200 non-current), but interest is a separate current liability.
- D: Misclassifies long-term principal as current, ignoring 10-year term.
Final answer: B
