You are the accountant for Speedy Company and are preparing the financial statements for 2019. Near the end of 2019, Speedy loaned its president 100,000 (a material amount) because she was having financial difficulties. The note was properly recorded as a note receivable by Speedy. You are unsure of how to classify this note on the 2019 ending balance sheet and ask the president when the note is due. She replies, We never really set a due date; I might repay it in 2020 or maybe in a couple of years when I get more financially secure.
