After obtaining the loan, while Roy traveled to Self’s Sporting Goods Store to purchase the ball, Roy remembered that he had not yet purchased the new jerseys that he promised his basketball team. Because his players deserve the best, Roy spent the entire loan amount on basketball gear for the team. After Roy purchased the jerseys, Roy decided that although he had spent the money that he obtained from Carolina Bank on jerseys, he still wanted the new basketball, so he went to Self’s Sporting Goods Store and purchased the ball with his own money.
Later that evening, Roy arrived at basketball practice to dole out the jerseys and try out the new basketball. The basketball proved to be a huge success with the basketball team, so the team used it for the rest of the season, which helped Roy and the team achieve the NCAA National Championship that year. Sadly, after NCAA officials learned of Roy’s use of the prohibited ball, Roy was never allowed to coach basketball again. Due to his unemployment, Roy filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition on June 1, 2005.
Which statement is correct?
(1) Carolina Bank’s security interest was perfected because the basketball was purchase-money collateral.
(2) Carolina Bank’s security interest was not perfected because the basketball was not purchase-money collateral.
(3) Carolina Bank’s security interest was not perfected because Roy did not use the loan proceeds to purchase the basketball.
(4) Both answers (2) and (3) are correct.
