Cevap

Prepaid advertising expense matches Current Asset; Trade marks match Non-current Asset; Three-year bank loan matches Non-current Liability; Accrued electricity utility charges match Current Liability.
Each item is categorized according to its liquidity and settlement timeframe: prepaid expenses yield short-term benefit (Current Asset), trade marks provide long-term operations support (Non-current Asset), multi-year loans are settled past one year (Non-current Liability), and accrued bills are obligations payable immediately or within one year (Current Liability).
