    The question is missing the below options:

    a.$40,000

    b.$71,000

    c.$229,000

    d.$31,000

    $31,000, option D is the correct answer as explained below.

    Explanation:

    The first long-term loan notes provides that an equal amount of principal is repayable every year, which implies that the amount of principal amount repayable is loan value divided by 5 years.

    In other words, the principal amount repayable on the first loan notes is $10,000 ($50,000/5 years) per year.

    The total amount repayable next year on both loan notes that should be classified as current liabilities this year is $31, 000 ($21000+$10000), since the principal repayment on this second loan notes is $21000
