Other information:

The bank notes, issued August 1, 2018, are due on July 31, 2019, and pay interest at a rate of 15%, payable at maturity. The mortgage note is due on March 1, 2019. Interest at 14% has been paid up to December 31 (assume 14% is a realistic rate). Manufacturing intended at December 31, 2018, to refinance the note on its due date with a new 10-year mortgage note. In fact, on March 1, Manufacturing paid $252,000 in cash on the principal balance and refinanced the remaining $1,001,000. Included in the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2018, were two subsidiary accounts that had been overpaid and had credit balances totaling $15,350. The accounts were of two major customers who were expected to order more merchandise from Manufacturing and apply the overpayments to those future purchases. On November 1, 2018, Manufacturing rented a portion of its factory to a tenant for $31,800 per year, payable in advance. The payment for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, was received as required and was credited to rent revenue.
