Boatler Used Cadillac Co. requires $800,000 in financing over the next two years. The firm can borrow the funds for two years at 9 percent interest per year.

    Amount required 800000

    Plan-1 9% per Annum

    Year - 1 800000 9% 72000

    Year - 2 800000 9% 72000

    Total interest 144000

    Plan-2

    Year - 1 800000 6.75% 54000

    Year - 2 800000 10.55% 84400

    Total interest 138400

    Interset cost

    Plan-1 144000

    Plan-2 138400

    Plan 2 is more benificial because interest cost is lesser than plan-1

    Plan1=$144000 Plan2 = $138400

    Plan two is lower than plan 1 interest so it is the better plan

    Explanation:

    First option

    $800000*0.09 = 72000

    So for two years

    $72000*2=$144000

    Second option

    first year

    800000*0.0675=$54000

    second year

    800000*0.1055=$84400

    adding the two

    $54000+$84400

    =$138400

    Plan two is lower than plan 1 interest so it is the better plan
