    A current asset refers to any asset that is expected to be converted into cash or used up within one year or the operating cycle of a business.

    Explanation
    The loan with a due date in the future (15/03/2040) suggests that it is a long-term liability rather than a current liability. Non-current liabilities are obligations that are not expected to be settled within the next year. Therefore, the loan is classified as a non-current liability.

    Correct Answer
    A. Current Liability
    Explanation
    A current liability refers to a debt or obligation that a company is expected to settle within one year or its normal operating cycle, whichever is longer. It is classified as a current liability because it is expected to be paid off in the near future. This can include items such as accounts payable, short-term loans, and accrued expenses. Therefore, the answer "Current Liability" is the correct classification for the term "Accrued Expense" as it represents a liability that is expected to be settled within the next year.

They are tangible assets that are used in the production or supply of goods and services, rather than being held for sale. These assets are expected to provide economic benefits to the company for more than one accounting period.

This reduction is recorded as a contra-asset account, which means it has a negative balance. Therefore, it is classified as a negative asset on the balance sheet.
