The debtor owes his creditor several debts, all of them due, to wit: (1) an unsecured debt; (2) a debt secured with mortgage of the debtor’s property; (3) a debt bearing interest; (4) a debt in which the debtor is solidarily liable with another. Partial payment was made by the debtor. Assuming that the debtor had not specified the debts to which the payment should be applied and, on the other hand, the creditor had not specified in the receipt he issued the application of payment, state the order in which the payment should be applied and your reason therefor.

Debtholders receive note contracts, one for each note, that describe the payments promised by the issuer of the debt. In addition, the issuing corporation frequently enters a supplementary agreement, called a note indenture, with a trustee who represents the debtholders. The provisions or covenants of the indenture may place restrictions on the issuer for the benefit of the debtholders. For example, an indenture may require that the issuers debt to equity ratio never rise above a specified level or that periodic payments be made to the trustee who administers a sinking fund to provide for the retirement of debt. Consider Roswell Manufacturings debt indenture, which requires that Roswells debt to equity ratio never exceed 2:1. If Roswell violates this requirement, the debt indenture specifies very costly penalties, and if the violation continues, the entire debt issue must be retired at a disadvantageous price and refinanced. In recent years, Roswells ratio has averaged about 1.5:1 ($15 million in total liabilities and $10 million in total stockholders equity). However, Roswell has an opportunity to purchase one of its major competitors, Ashland Products. The acquisition will require $4.5 million in additional liabilities, but it will double Roswells net income. Roswell does not believe that a stock issue is feasible in the current environment. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard concerning accounting for post employment benefits, which is strongly supported by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Implementation of the new standard will add about S2 million to Roswells long-term liabilities. Roswells CEO. Martha Cooper, has written a strong letter of objection to the FASB. The FASB received similar letters from over 300 companies. Required; 2. If you were a member of the FASB and met Martha Cooper at a professional meeting, how would you respond to her objection?
