b) $390,000
c) $395,000
d) $420,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $390,000

Explanation:

On December 31, 20X6, Bake's current liabilities equal $390,000. Accounts payable are current; the bonds payable, due in 20X7, will mature in the next 12 months are current (minus the discount on the bonds payable); and the deferred tax liability will reverse in the next 12 months and is also current. ($80,000 + $300,000 - 15,000 + $25,000 = $390,000).
