Lonergan Company occasionally uses its accounts receivable to obtain immediate cash. At the end of June 2018, the company had accounts receivable of $1,060,000. Lonergan needs approximately $640,000 to capitalize on a unique investment opportunity. On July 1, 2018, a local bank offers Lonegan the following two alternatives:

1. Borrow $640,000, sign a note payable, and assign the entire receivable balance as collateral. At the end of each month, a remittance will be made to the bank that equals the amount of receivables collected plus 9% interest on the unpaid balance of the note at the beginning of the period.
2. Transfer $690,000 of specific receivables to the bank without recourse. The bank will charge a 2% factoring fee on the amount of receivables transferred. The bank will collect the receivables directly from customers. The sale criteria are met.
