(a) If Burr refinances the obligation by issuing a long-term note on February 14 and by using the proceeds to pay off the note due on February 15, how much of the $500,000 should be reported as a current liability at December 31, 2020?
(b) If Burr pays off the note on February 15, 2021, and then borrows $1 million on a long-term basis on March 1, how much of the $500,000 should be reported as a current liability at December 31, 2020?
