Many businesses borrow money during periods of increased business activity to finance inventory and accounts receivable. Target Corporation is one of Americas largest general merchandise retailers. Each Christmas, Target builds up its inventory to meet the needs of Christmas shoppers. A large portion of Christmas sales are on credit. As a result, Target often collects cash from the sales several months after Christmas. Assume that on November 1, 2015, Target borrowed $6.7 million cash from Metropolitan Bank and signed a promissory note that matures in six months. The interest rate was 7.00 percent payable at maturity. The accounting period ends December 31.
