When we are given an balance sheet ..

Then they may ask you to find the current ratio, but first you need to know the current assets and current liabilities. These are difficult to tell, so can you list the current assets and non-current assets and same for liabilities please.

E.g.

Current Assets: Cash
Non-Current Assets: Real Estate

Current Assets/Liabilities are basically things 12 months or under. Non-Currents are over 12 months.

So basically say a Machinery would not be Current because its not going to rot in 12 months time or less. A Mortgage or loan is usually Non-Current however sometimes they may say that the loan is maturing in eg. 6 months time which means the loan is now Current Liability.
