Which of the following items would most likely not be classified as a current asset?

Office equipment A current (short-term) asset is expected to be converted to cash or consumed within one year or an operating cycle, whichever is longer. An operating cycle is defined as the average time it takes a business to convert cash to inventory, inventory to accounts receivable, and accounts receivable back to cash. Merchandise inventory, office supplies, and prepaid rent would be classified as current assets. Office equipment is not a current asset because it would be used for more than one year or one operating cycle.

Under what condition should a pending lawsuit be recognized as a liability on a company's balance sheet?

The outcome is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. A contingent liability should be recorded in the financial statements as a liability if the outcome is considered probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated. If it is considered only reasonably possible, it is only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
