Question:
Medical Inc is trying to develop an asset-financing plan. The firm has $3,200,000 in temporary current assets and $2,800,000 in permanent current assets. The company also has $10,400,000 in fixed assets.
Construct two alternative financing plans for the firm. One of the plans should be conservative, with 70 percent of assets financed by long-term sources and the rest financed by short-term sources. The other plan should be aggressive, with only 20 percent of assets financed by long-term sources and the remaining assets financed by short-term sources. The current interest rate is 12 percent on long-term funds and 5 percent on short-term financing.
Compute the annual interest payments under each plan. (Show your work)
