Current Liabilities
Recall: Current assets are cash or other assets that companies reasonably expect to convert into cash, sell,
or consume in operations within a single operating cycle or within a year.
Current liabilities are “obligations whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require use of existing
resources properly classified as current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities.”
Operating cycle: Period of time elapsing between the acquisition of goods and services and the final cash
realization resulting from sales and subsequent collections.
