Blossom Inc. is a book distributor that had been operating in its original facility since 1990. The increase in certification programs and continuing education requirements in several professions has contributed to an annual growth rate of 15% for Blossom since 2015. Blossom original facility became obsolete by early 2020 because of the increased sales volume and the fact that Blossom now carries CDs in addition to books. On June 1, 2020, Blossom contracted with Black Construction to have a new building constructed for $5,040,000 on land owned by Blossom. The payments made by Blossom to Black Construction are shown in the schedule below.

Construction was completed and the building was ready for occupancy on May 27, 2021. Blossom had no new borrowings directly associated with the new building but had the following debt outstanding at May 31, 2021, the end of its fiscal year.
