Answer

  1. An asset, of which the payment is to be received within 12 months from the Balance sheet date, shall be treated as current. Period of operating cycle is irrelevant in such cases. Hence, assets in case of (i) and (ii) shall be treated as current assets.
  2. Assets, the payment of which is received in more than 12 months from the Balance Sheet date:
  1. If payment period is less than the period of operating cycle, the assets shall be treated as Current Asset. Hence, assets in case of (iv) and (vi) shall be treated as current Assets.
  2. If payment period is more than the period of operating cycle, the assets shall be treated as Non-Current assets. Hence, Assets in case of (iii) and (v) shall be treated as Non-current Assets.
