Is "due" a noun or adjective here? What does it mean?

Question

---------
ASSETS
- cash and due from bank
- total loan portfolio
- other short-term assets

Answer 1

noun.

even though a phrase, cash and due can either be compound objects or subjects. from is the preposition. from bank is the prepositional phrase.

eg. of sentence:

she needed to count the cash and due from bank. (she=subject; needed=verb; to count the cash and due from bank=infinitive phrase; cash and due=compound direct objects in infinitive phrase; from bank=prepositional phrase. THUS, noun.

the cash and due from bank were checked this afternoon. (cash and due=subject=noun)

clear enough? :D

Answer 2

"Due" is an adjective when it means owed as a debt or obligation, as in "It has become due." It's a noun when it's a person's right, as in "Give the devil his due." Here, it precedes a proposition..good grief. I hope someone gives you a better answer!

Answer 3

In the sense that 'due' here means 'owing', it would be an adjective. However, if it is meant to convey 'expected shortly', then it would be a noun.
