In addition, most states have laws that specifically require a VCPR for a veterinarian to be able to write a prescription. Second, each state's veterinary medical board regulates how prescriptions must be written â specifically, what information must be included on the prescription.
Short Term vs. Long Term. The determining factor of short- and long-term notes receivable is time. Short-term notes are notes due within 12 months or less. If the note is due in more than a year, it's a long-term note. Short-term notes receivable are considered a current asset. As such, they're included in the balance sheet under the current asset category. Long term notes are presented on the balance sheet along with other non-current assets.
While many companies often have cash ratios less than 1, this doesn't necessarily mean they face short term liquidity constraints. Accounts receivables are expected to eventually convert to cash, and companies often have lines of credit they can use if they need to pay off current liabilities.
