Are wage expense considered a current liability?

Generally NO, wages are an expense. The only exception to the rule is if a company has "wages payable" which is wages that they owe but have not yet paid, "wages payable" is a liability until they are paid. Once paid, the account is closed into wage expense and is listed under the asset column of the Trial Balance sheet, until the end of the accounting cycle when expense accounts are closed out for the year end.


Is notes payable an asset or a liability?

Accounts Payable and Notes Payable are liabilities. Accounts receivable - assets All "payable" accounts are "liabilities". This is because a liability is something the company OWES, a payable is the very same thing, hence the term "payable". Though some payable accounts change from being a payable to an expense, they are still liabilities as long as they are "payable", these include: Interest Payable (liability until paid, then reverts to Interest Expense) Salary or Wages Payable(liability until paid, then reverts to salary or wage expense) Payable accounts maintain a "credit" balance, meaning they increase with a Credit and Decrease with a debit. Now the quick answer: Payable = Liability Receivable = Asset

Is a short term note payable a liability?

All payable accounts are liabilities regardless of them being short term or long term. A liability is ANYTHING a company owes. The only exception to this rule is generally everyday expenses incurred by the company and/or business. Expenses such as Wages, Salaries, Utilities, Rent, ETC. These too can also become a "liability" if payment is delayed. For example, you owe John Q, $1500 in wages but will not be paying it until the next accounting period, you still have to put it in your books, therefore you will list it as Wages Payable - John Q (credit) $1500 & Wage Expense- John Q (debit) $1500. Because you have NOT paid this but still "owe" it, the Wage Payable becomes a Liability for the company until it is paid off. Once it is paid off you Debit the Wage Payable account (to bring the balance to $0) and Credit your Cash account for the amount paid.
