Normally, short-term debt (payable within a year) is classified as currentliabilities. However, when such debt is to be refinanced on a long-term basis, itmay be included with long-term liabilities. The narrative indicates that Rushingrefinanced $9 million of the notes payable on a long-term basis. Thus, Rushingshould report that amount among long-term liabilities. The remaining $3million was a current liability at December 31.The $75,000 payment of the employee’s medical bills is a provision as ofDecember 31. Rushing can use the information occurring after the end of theyear and before the financial statements are issued (the settlement) to make theprovision and to determine appropriate disclosure. That payment is anadjusting event that confirms that a liability exists at year-end.A disclosure note is also appropriate.
