Option A: To borrow $6,000 as on June 1 for 90 days bearing the interest at10%.

Calculation of interest expenses of option A.

Given,

Principal is $6,000.

Rate of interest is 10%.

Time is 90 days.

Formula to calculate interest expense,

  Interestexpense=Principal×Rateofinterest×Time100

Substitute $6,000 for principal, 10% for rate o interest and 90 days for time.

  Interestexpenses=$6,000×10×90100×360=$150

The interest expenses for the option A is $150.

Option B: To borrow $6,000 as on June 1 for 120days bearing the interest at 8%.

Calculation of interest expenses for option B.

Given,

Principal is $6,000.

Rate of interest is 8%.

Time is 120 days.

Formula to calculate interest expense,

  Interestexpenses=Principal×Rateofinterest×Time100

Substitute $6,000 for principal, 8% for rate of interest and 120 days for time.

  Interestexpense=$6,000×8×120100×360=$160

The interest expenses for the option B is $160.

Since, the interest rate for option A is higher than the option B, but the interest expense for option B is higher than option A because in option A the time for borrow the loan is 90 days whereas for option B is it 120days.

So if the company prefer interest cost so option A is preferable but if the company prefer addition time to used to loan the option B should be prefer the company only has to pay $10 more for the additional 30days to used the loan for option B.

The total number of days in a year is to be rounded to 360.
