Answer:

A. Cash ⇒ Neither

Cash is a current asset not a liability at all.

B. Federal income tax payable this year ⇒ Current liability.

If a liability is to be paid within the current period then it is a current liability and as federal income tax payable is a liability and it is due this year, it is a current liability.

C. Long-term note payable ⇒ Noncurrent liability

If the liability is for more than the current period then it is a non-current liability.

D. Current portion of a long-term note payable ⇒ Current liability

The current portion of a long term note payable is due to be paid within current period so is a current liability.

E. Note Payable due in four years ⇒ Noncurrent liability

This is due for more than the current period so is a non-current liability.

F. Interest Expense ⇒ Neither

This is not a liability but an expense that goes to the income statement.

G. State income tax ⇒ Neither

This is not a liability either but an expense that goes to the income statement.
