Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The negative cash balance of $33,000 represents the amount by which Roofer's Inc. has exceeded its operating line of credit, thus creating a liability. Since this overdraft occurred within the operating line of credit, it is considered a short-term obligation and should be reported as a current liability of $33,000 on the statement of financial position.
