Explanation of Solution

When Company FP pays Person X $150,000 in cash then he has to pay then with interest of $155,000. The interest rate will be ($5,000$150,000×100=3.33%) . The interest rate for 60 days will be (0.0333×(36560)=20.3%) .

Thus, the bank credit line seems to be a better deal. If Company FP has no other recourse or option to Person X’s firm, then the adviser must make the choices because the bank credit is based on the creditability of the firm. Thus pledging will be risker under this case. So here he can opt for the Company FP.
