Scenario
Bradburn Corporation was formed five years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Bradburn and is its current president. The corporation has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2026, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $35,000 notes, which are due on June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2026. Another note of $6,000 is due on March 31, 2027, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date. Brown explained that Bradburn’s cash flow problems are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $300,000 plant expansion over the next two fiscal years through internally generated funds.
