Don't confuse yourself by trying to classify an asset by long or short term, you are looking for fixed. It is important to understand the terminology or you will find yourself getting confused and frustrated! You need to determine current liabilities and long term liabilities. The formulas above should get you on the right track, if not, then you need to start at square one and look at a companies financial statements individually. Income Statement, Statement of Equity, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. Be sure to take note when looking at these 4 primary statements, the Balance Sheet is for a specific time whereas the other three are for a period of time. I hope this help somewhat.....
