    Year 2018 - Total Current liabilities = $39,000

    Year 2019 - Total Current liabilities = $33,800

    Explanation:

    Year 2018

    Current liabilities:

    Current Portion of the long term debt = $5,200

    Add:

    Long term debt = $33,800

    Total Current liabilities = $39,000

    Year 2020

    Current liabilities:

    Current Portion of the long term debt = $7,800

    Add:

    Long term debt = $26,000

    Total Current liabilities = $33,800

    On December 31, 2019, $5,200 of the loan will be stated as the Current liabilities as it is due on November 30, 2020, which is within a year. The remaining portion of the loan will be stated as the long term debt because it is not due within the year from the date of balance sheet.

    On December 31, 2020, $33,800 of the balance outstanding ($5,200 repaid on November 30, 2020). Out of which $7,800 is due on November 30, 2021. So, $7,800 will be stated as current liability and the balance amount $26,000will be as long term debt.
