The partial balance sheet is prepared below:

Holmes

Partial balance sheet

December 31, 2017

Current liabilities

Note payable $3,400,000

Long term liabilities

Note payable estimated refinanced $3,600,000

The computation is shown below:

Note payable

= short term debt - account receivable * percentage given

= $7,000,000 - $6,000,000 * 60%

= $7,000,000 - $3,600,000

= $3,400,000

So only $6,000,000 would be reclassified, not the $8,000,0000 as it reflect the value of $4,800,000
