Accounting

Many businesses borrow money during periods of increased business activity to finance inventory and accounts receivable.
FederalWay, Incorporated, is one of America's most prestigious retailers. Each Christmas season, FederalWay builds up its inventory to
meet the needs of Christmas shoppers. A large portion of these Christmas sales are on credit. As a result, FederalWay often collects
cash from the sales several months after Christmas. Assume that on November 1 of this year, FederalWay borrowed $4.4 million cash
from Third Fifth Bank to meet short-term obligations. FederalWay signed an interest-bearing note and promised to repay the $4.4
million in six months. The annual interest rate was 10 percent. All interest will accrue and be paid when the note is due in six months.
FederalWay's accounting period ends December 31.
