Question

A Corporation had the following liabilities at December 31, 1996:

 

Accounts payable

P   110,000

Uncollateralized notes, 8%, due 7/1/97

800,000

Accrued expenses

70,000

Contingent liability

900,000

Deferred income tax liability

50,000

Senior bonds, 7% due 3/3/1/97

2,000,000

 

The contingent liability is an accrual for possible losses on a P2,000,000 lawsuit filed against A.  A’s legal counsel expects the suit to be settled in 1998, and has estimated that A will be liable for damages in the range of P900,000 to P1,500,000.  The deferred income tax liability is note related to an asset for financial reporting and is expected to reverse in 1998.  What amount should A report in its December 31, 1996 balance sheet as current liabilities?
