Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Financial Accounting - 1991 (Objective) Subject: Financial Accounting

Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not a liability?
Answer Details
Out of the options given, "prepayment" is not a liability. A liability is a financial obligation or debt that an individual or business owes to another entity. It represents a future payment that must be made, typically in the form of money or services. Accrued wages, creditor, insurance due but unpaid, and rent arrears are all examples of liabilities. However, a prepayment is an asset, not a liability. It is an advance payment made by a customer for goods or services that will be provided in the future. This means that the company owes the customer the goods or services in the future, and thus, the prepayment is considered as an asset on the company's balance sheet.
