    Current Liability are those liability that are to be repaid within a short period of time, usually within a year. Example Accounts Payable.

    Non Current Liability is that liability that is to be repaid in a long period of time, example Bonds Payable.

    Notes Payable will be paid on 1 Aug 2021, which is 7 months after 31 Dec 2020 (within a year) and hence will be classified as Current Liability.

    Interest Payable is also a current liability.

    Correct Answer: Option #2

    Notes Payable - Current Liability

    Interest Payable - Current Liability
