Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of current liabilities: Current liabilities are obligations that a company expects to settle within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.

Review each account listed in the problem and determine whether it meets the criteria for a current liability.

Accrued Expenses: These are expenses that have been incurred but not yet paid, typically settled within a year, so they are classified as current liabilities.

Accounts Payable: These represent amounts owed to suppliers for goods or services received, usually settled within a year, making them current liabilities.

Notes Payable (due in 2 years): Since this obligation is due beyond one year, it does not meet the criteria for a current liability and is classified as a long-term liability.
