Investments consist of treasury bills that were purchased in November and mature in January. Prepaid insurance is for the next two years. What amount should be included in the current asset section of Ahmad's December 31, 2013, statement of financial position?
Current Assets as on 31st December 2013
Description | Amount |
Accounts Receivable | 12000 |
Inventories | 40000 |
Investments | 30000 |
Prepaid Insurance | 6000 |
Total | $ 88000 |
Notes :
1) Patent is an intangible asset and doesn't form part of current assets.
2) Since the investments are held for a period of only two months, it is a current asset.
3) Prepaid insurance is for the next two years. As a result, no amount of prepaid insurance has expired. So it is shown at it's full value.
4) Note receivables are due only in 2016 which is beyond the period of twelve months. So it is a non current asset.
