The correct answer is option 4- CD.
| Operating cycle in months | Expected period when payment is made | Liability | Reason | |
| A | 9 | 12 | Current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability. |
| B | 11 | 12 | Current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability. |
| C | 11 | 13 | Non-current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current liability. |
| D | 18 | 20 | Non-current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current liability. |
| E | 18 | 16 | Current | The expected period of payment is less than operating cycle so it is a current liability. |
| F | 10 | 12 | Current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current liability. |
* A liability is treated as current if payment is made within operating cycle or 12 months.
