    E Corporate bonds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Loans repayable on demand from banks are considered short-term borrowings because they are due for repayment at any time upon the bank's request. This contrasts with long-term borrowings like debentures, term loans, long-term finance lease obligations, and corporate bonds, which have fixed repayment schedules extending over several years.
