The correct answer is option 2-ABDF
| Operating cycle in months |
Expected period when payment is received |
Asset | Reason | |
| A | 10 | 9 | Current | The expected period of payment is less than operating cycle so it is a current asset. |
| B | 10 | 12 | Current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle but less than 12 months so it is a current asset. |
| C | 10 | 14 | Non-current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current asset. |
| D | 15 | 14 | Current | The expected period of payment is less than operating cycle so it is a current asset. |
| E | 15 | 18 | Non-current | The expected period of payment is more than operating cycle and 12 months so it is a non current asset. |
| F | 20 | 18 | Current | The expected period of payment is less than operating cycle so it is a current asset. |
*An asset is treated as current if payment is received within operating cycle.
* An asset is treated as current if payment is received within 12 months if operating cycle is less than 12 months.
