On June 1, 2020, Grouper Corporation approached Silverman Corporation about buying a parcel of undeveloped land, Silverman was asking $270,000 for the land and Grouper saw that there was some flexibility in the asking price. Grouper did not have enough money to make a cash offer to Silverman and proposed to give, in return for the land, a $315.000, five-year promissory note that bears interest at the rate of 5%. The interest is to be paid annually to Silverman Corporation on June 1 of each of the next five years. Silverman insisted that the note taken in return become a mortgage note. Silverman accepted the amended offer, and Grouper signed a mortgage note for $315,000 due June 1, 2025. Grouper would have had to pay 10% at its local bank if it were to borrow the cash for the land purchase. Silverman, on the other hand, could borrow the funds at 9%. Both Grouper and Silverman have calendar year ends.
