Cordell Barry · Answer 1

Answer:c. $1,000,000.00

Explanation:

The payment on the short term notes payable of $5million in 2017 in which total sum paid on the loan was $4 million will reduce the balance to $1million.

The additional $3.5 million borrowed will not increase the short term notes payable because it's a long term credit being payable in three years.

The additional five hundred thousand provided by the debtor will also add up to reduce the credit facility.
