Super Bazar, for example, purchases goods for ₹10,000 on credit for a month from Fast Food Products on March 25, 2020. If the balance sheet of Super Bazaar is prepared as at March 31, 2020, Fast Food Products will be shown as creditors on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. If Super Bazaar takes a loan for a period of three years from Delhi State Co-operative Bank, this will also be shown as a liability in the balance sheet of Super Bazaar. Liabilities are classified as current and non-current. |
