Jimenez Transportation purchased five new transportation vehicles in 2021. They plan to pay these vehicles off in even installments over the next 8 years. On the 2022 year-end financial statements, how would the amount Jimenez plans to pay off in 2023 differ from the amount they plan to pay off in 2024?
A ) The amount they plan to pay off in 2023 would be classified as depreciation, and the amount they plan to pay off in 2024 would be classified as a long-term liability.
B) The amount they plan to pay off in 2023 would be classified as property, plant, and equipment, and the amount they plan to pay off in 2024 would be classified as a long-term investment. C) The amount they plan to pay off in 2023 would be classified as a current liability, and the amount they plan to pay off in 2024 would be classified as a long-term investment.
D) The amount they plan to pay off in 2023 would be classified as a current liability, and the amount they plan to pay off in 2024 would be classified as a long-term liability.
What is the answer and why?
The Correct Answer is Option D.
D) The amount they plan to pay off in 2023 would be classified as a current liability, and the amount they plan to pay off in 2024 would be classified as a long-term liability.
Why?
Any Liability which shall be paid within 12 months is considered as a current liability. Liabilities payable after a period of 12 months can be termed as Long-term liabilities.
In this case, Jimenez Transportation has recognized a liability for payment of the cost of Vehicles. At the end of 2022, a portion of liability that needs to be paid in 2023 (within 12 months from the end of 2022) will be termed as a current liability, the remaining portion which will be paid after 2023 (after 12 months from the end of 2022) can be termed as Long-term liability.
Option A is incorrect because Depreciation is a reduction in the value of an asset, not a liability to be paid.
Option B is incorrect because Asset is classified as Property, Plant, and Equipment at the time of acquisition and addition.
Option C is incorrect because the Amount to be paid in 2024 is still a liability and can not be termed as Lon-term investment.
