How do you enter a long term liability?

In double-entry accounting it's the same basic entry for all liabilities, the accounts used will vary depending on the type of liability in which you may be referencing.I'll give a couple examples so that hopefully it will help. Company X purchases a computer on account, the amount the company owes is now a liability. To record this purchase a debit is made to Equipment and a credit is made to accounts (or notes) payable.Remember, all liabilities have a credit balance, therefore when entering a liability, there is a credit to the liability and a debit to another account.A company borrows money from a bank and signs a note, the debit is for the cash received and the credit is for the note payable (the liability)A company owes their employee's wages but does not intend to pay the wages until a later date, what they now owe is a liability. A debit to Wage Expense is made with a credit to Wages Payable.*note, a long term liability is still a liability, the difference between a long-term and a current liability is only the time in which the debt (or liability) will be fully paid off. The entry is the same for both.

How much is Liability insurance for a renovation company?

It depends on how much coverage you need, what kind of liability (General Liability? Employer's Liability? Auto Liability? Professional Liability?...) & what deductibles, if any, your claims experience, your work experience, who the insurance company is and the way their coverage forms read, their overall claims experience for companies like yours, and where you are located & operate. Your insurance agent can help you with specific quotes. Please note that in general, insurance is always based on these kinds of factors so it's hard to give a ballpark estimate for ANY kind of insurance.

What transaction would cause a decrease in a liability and a increase in a liability?

Answer:This would be where one type of liability is exchanged for another liability. ExampleThe firm has accounts payable that are due. Since they are short of cash, the firm agrees with one supplier that the firm receives an extention of 2 months, with 5% annual interest.The invoice now needs to be categorized as a note payable. As a result accounts payable is reduced and notes payable increase.
