Answer:

The answer is given below;

Explanation:

                                              XYZ

                                        Extracts from Balance Sheet

                                        As at XXXXX

Current Liabilities

Current  portion of long term loan     *$25,000

Long Term Liabilities

Long Term Loan                                   $25,000

As the 50% of the loan will be repaid in next year, therefore ($50,000/2) will be shown in current liabilities. The rest of the  loan is shown  as long term loan as it will be repaid after 12 months.

Answer:

Under current liabilities you must record:

Current portion of long-term debt (CPLTD) $25,000

Accrued interest payable XXX (the interest rate is not given)

Under long term liabilities you must record:

Long-term debt (LTD) $25,000

Explanation:

Current portion of long-term debt (CPLTD) account in the balance sheet is used to report the amount of long-term debt principal that is due within a year. Accrued interest expense must be recorded separately, since interests and principal must be treated separately.
