Short Answer

Claude Scales, a commercial fisherman, bought a new navigation system for $10,000 from Coast Marine Electronics on March 20. He paid $2,000 in cash and signed a conditional sales contract requiring a payment on July 1 of $3,000 plus interest on the $3,000 at a rate of 8%, and another payment on September 1 of $5,000 plus interest at 8% from the date of the sale.
