Liabilities are current obligations of the entity that arose as a result of past events, the settlement of which will results in the outflow of cash from the entity.

To calculate the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020, make adjustments to the liability balance that exists at the start of the year with movement that qualify as liabilities as defined above.

Opening balance as at 1 January 2020 = $22,000

Balance as at March 31, 2020 = $22,000

Conclusion:

The liabilities value on March 31, 2020 remains at $22,000
