The Conceptual Framework is always a tricky one, but I think D is the way to go. You can't go wrong with a good old-fashioned accounts payable liability!

I'm leaning towards D as well, it fits the definition of a liability based on the Conceptual Framework.

I think A could also be considered a liability, as it represents an amount due from a customer.

Gotta go with D on this one. Liabilities are all about current obligations, and an amount due to a supplier for past purchases definitely fits the bill.

Option B is a future obligation, but option D is a current obligation that arose from a past transaction.

But what about option B? It's also an amount due to a supplier.

I agree with Scarlet, because a liability is an obligation to pay in the future.

Hmm, interesting question. I'd say C is the most amusing option - an amount paid in relation to a dispute? That sounds like a liability alright, just not a very fun one!

I'm not too sure about this one. I think option B could also be considered a liability since it's an amount due to a supplier, even if it's for future purchases.

Option D seems like the obvious answer here. The amount due to the supplier for goods purchased one month ago would meet the definition of a liability.
