Liability:
Liability is the financial obligation or debt that happens at the time of running the business. Liability is broadly classified into two; current liability and long-term liability.
Long-term liability:
Long-term liabilities are the debt or obligation due only after one year. Bonds payable and mortgage payable are the examples of long-term liabilities.
Current liability:
Current liabilities are the debt or obligation due within one year. Accounts payable, accrued wages and taxes payable are the examples of current liabilities.
