special needs children, or are victims of domestic violence. They have a 30 year mortgage
with a 5% interest rate which requires a payment of $3,000 per month. In preparing the
financial statements for the board, you list the mortgage balance of $287,000 as a current
liability based on the board hoping to pay it off within the next year. If Bonnie's pays
