Mr. Procter decides to do economic forecasting and determines that if he utilizes short-term financing instead, he will pay 6.55 percent interest in the first year and 10.95 percent interest in the second year. Determine the total two-year interst cost under each plan. Which plan is less costly

Assuming there is no compound interest…
Plan A - 2 year borrowing Interest cost = 1,200,000 X 9.5% X 2 = $228,000
Plan B - 1 year borrowings Interest cost in year 1 = 1,200,000 X 6.55% = $78,600
1 year borrowings Interest cost in year 2 = 1,200,000 X 10.95% = $131,400
131,400 + 78,600 = $210,000
Plan B is less costly
