Edward owned a retail sporting goods shop. A new ski resort was being constructed in his area, and to take advantage of the pote
ntial business, Edward decided to expand his operations. He borrowed a large sum from his bank, which took a security interest in his present inventory and any after-acquired inventory as collateral for the loan. The bank properly perfected the security interest by filing a financing statement. Edward’s business was profitable, so he doubled his inventory. A year later, just a few months after the ski resort had opened; an avalanche destroyed the ski slope and lodge. Edward’s business consequently took a turn for the worse, and he defaulted on his debt to the bank. The bank then sought possession of his entire inventory, even though the inventory was now twice as large as it had been when the loan was made. Edward claimed that the bank had rights to only half of his inventory. Is Edward correct? Explain in detail using examples
