Question:

The firm is considering several options to purchase the equipment: paying $2,000,000 in cash and creating a notes payable of $8,000,000 that they must repay in a year; or, taking out a 5 year loan from the bank for the $10,000,000. Ignoring the cost of interest, how would each option affect the balance sheet? Which option would you recommend management pursue? Is there enough information available to create an income statement?
