Question: Current liabilities often include rent payable, salary payable, insurance payable, and the like. These
debts are incurred in connection with day-to-day operations. The amounts are known and payment will be made
within a relatively short period of time.
Liabilities that result from physical events such as the purchase of inventory or supplies are often reported as
accounts payable. Other current debts (interest payable or rent payable, for example) are sometimes combined
under the general title of accrued liabilities because they grow gradually over time rather than through a specific
transaction. How does an organization determine the amount of current liabilities to be reported on its balance

point specified by the seller or negotiated by the parties. If marked “FOB shipping point,” the liability is reported

merchandise is received by the buyer. Unless goods are damaged during transit or a dispute arises over payment
for transportation charges, the FOB point is only relevant around the end of a company’s fiscal year as the
accountant attempts to classify transactions between one period and the next.
