Additional information:

Natalie and Curtis are thinking about borrowing an additional $20,000 to buy more kitchen

equipment. The loan would be repaid over a 4-year period. The terms of the loan provide for

equal semiannual installment payments of $2,500 on May 1 and November 1 of each year, plus

interest of 5% on the outstanding balance. Dividends on preferred stock were $1,250. Since this

is the first year of operations and the beginning balances are zero, use the ending balance as the

average balance where appropriate.
