<u>Full question:</u>
On June 15, Harper purchased equipment for $100,000 from Imperial Corp. for use in its manufacturing process. Harper paid for the equipment with funds borrowed from Eastern Bank. Harper gave Eastern a security agreement and financing statement covering Harper’s existing and after-acquired equipment. On June 21, Harper was petitioned involuntarily into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. A bankruptcy trustee was appointed. On June 23, Eastern filed the financing statement. Which of the parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment?
A. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the filing of the financing statement after the commencement of the bankruptcy case would be deemed a preferential transfer.
B. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the trustee became a lien creditor before Eastern perfected its security interest.
C. Eastern, because it had a perfected purchase money security interest without having to file a financing statement.
D. Eastern, because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.
<u>Answer:</u>
Eastern parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Eastern has a higher security interest because Eastern amended its security interest inside the allowable time deadlines. A perfected security interest in any security interest in an asset that cannot be demanded by any other party.
Below the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), to perfect a security interest, a lender has 10 days from the date of the sale of material to perfect the security interest by filing a financing statement. Possessing registered in the 10-day limit, Eastern has a strong perfected security interest in the material and after-acquired things even though the bankruptcy was recorded two days ahead.

The new borrowing would make the financing structure more risky since the amount of fixed interest payment would increase significantly
Explanation:
Current debt to equity ratio:
Debt to equity=debt amount/equity amount
Current debt is $165,000
current equity is $675,000
equity =total assets-debt
debt to equity ratio=$165,000/($675,000-$165,000)=32.35%
If the $610,000 is borrowed ,the debt value would increase by $610,000
new debt value=$165,000+$610,000=$ 775,000.00
New debt to equity ratio= $775,000.00/$510,000.00=151.96%
Answer:
$610,000
Explanation:
According to the midpoint value, we have to find out the mid value of two amount.
As in the question, the sales for 1996 and the sales for 1998 are given and we have to find out the sales for 1997
So, by using the mid point formula approach, the sales for 1997 is
= (1996 sales + 1998 sales) ÷ (Number of years)
= ($500,000 + $720,000) ÷ (2 years)
= ($1,220,000) ÷ (2 years)
= $610,000
Therefore, the estimated sales value of the company for year 1997 is $610,000
