Paul Sabin organized Sabin Electronics 10 years ago to produce and sell several electronic devices on which he had secured patents. Although the company has been fairly profitable, it is now experiencing a severe cash shortage. For this reason, it is requesting a $580,000 long-term loan from Gulfport State Bank, $140,000 of which will be used to bolster the Cash account and $440,000 of which will be used to modernize equipment. The companys financial statements for the two most recent years follow:
