Detailed explanation-2: -An amount owed by a business is called a LIABILITY.

Detailed explanation-3: -Liabilities are a company’s financial obligations, like the money a business owes its suppliers, wages payable and loans owing, which can be found on a business’s balance sheet.

Detailed explanation-4: -A liability is typically an amount owed by a company to a supplier, bank, lender or other provider of goods, services or loans. Liabilities can be listed under accounts payable, and are credited in the double-entry bookkeeping method of managing accounts.

Detailed explanation-5: -In its simplest form, your balance sheet can be divided into two categories: assets and liabilities.
