The "Accounts Payable" item amount is:

60 000 + 1 800 000 = 1 860 000 (yuan).

3. Fill in the calculation according to the analysis and calculation of the balance of the general ledger account and the sub-ledger account.

Some items in the balance sheet need to be filled in according to the balance analysis of both the general ledger account and the subsidiary ledger account.

It is necessary to deduct the balance of the "Long-term Borrowing" G/L account from the "Long-Term Borrowing" G/L account, and the detailed account to which the "Long-Term Borrowing" account belongs will be due within one year.

In addition, the enterprise cannot voluntarily calculate and fill in the amount of long-term borrowings after the extension of repayment obligations.

Case 3].

The long-term borrowings of an enterprise are shown in the table.

What is the amount of "long-term borrowings" in the company's balance sheet on December 31, 2021?

In this example, the enterprise should use the balance of the general ledger account of "long-term loans".

4,500,000 (1,000,000+2,000,000+1,500,000) yuan, minus 1,500,000 yuan of long-term loans due within one year, to calculate the amount of "long-term loans".

The amount of the "long-term borrowings" item in the company's balance sheet on December 31, 20x4 is:

4 500 000 - 1 500 000 = 3 000 000 (yuan).
