    Answer: Short term is less costly

    Explanation:

    Total interest cost under long term financing = 800,000 * 12% * 2

    = 800000 * 0.12 * 2

    = $192,000

    Total interest cost under short term financing = (800,000 * 7% * 1) + (800,000 * 13.95% * 1) =

    = (800000*0.07*1) + (800,000*0.139*1)

    = $167,600

    Based on the above solution, Short term financing is less costly.
