    A. $10,800

    Explanation:

    The more aggressive financing plan will be taking a short-term debt and hope to generate enought to pay the principal.

    The difference in rate is of 1.50%

    short-term interest: 1,200,000 x 7.50% = 90,000

    long-term interest: 1,200,000 x 9.00% = 108,000

    Net Income using short-term financing:

    (750,000 - 90,000) x (1 - 40%) = 396,000

    (750,000 - 108,000) x (1 - 40%) = 385,200

    Difference: 396,000 - 385,200 = 10,800

    TYhe net income taking a short-term debt is 10,800 dollars greater.
