Exercise 5

Bank has loaned unsecured money to Retailer, which still owes $700,000. Nervous that Retailer is on the verge of bankruptcy, Bank sends a "notice of security interest" to Retailer, claiming a security interest in all the inventory and real estate of Retailer.

(a) Has a perfected security interest in the inventory, but not the real estate
(b) Has a perfected security interest in the real estate, but not the inventory
(c) Has a perfected security interest in both the real estate and the inventory
(d) Has no security interest in either the real estate or the inventory
(e) Has an unperfected security interest in both the real estate and the inventory
