Explanation of Solution

Both current liabilities and long-term debts act as a focal point of the financial planning efforts of an organization.

Current liabilities are obligations to be paid within a year. If the debts are paid within the stipulated period, the short-term liability of the company is found to be positive. This means that the company meets the cash flow needs and it is considered as a going concern.

Long-term debts are obligations for which the due period exceeds 1 year. If the debts are paid within the stipulated period, the long-term liquidity of the company will be positive. The probability of meeting the financial needs of the company turns to be favourable.

Conclusion

Hence, the difference between current liability and long-term debt are explained above.
