Eggs Ltd., an egg producing farm, requires short term financing and are consulting with you for advice on which financing option to choose to fund its purchases of feed for its hens. An operations consultant determined that the standard deviation of feed use on a monthly basis is 33%, with January feed use being the lowest at 1 ton and November being the highest at 2 tons. The farm manager has found two options, a revolving credit facility at a rate of 5% per annum with interest payable on the balance of the facility at the end of every month OR a one- year renewable loan at a rate of 4% payable as part of the monthly repayments on the loan. Which loan would you advise the company to take? (No calculations are required in this answer, though they are permissible. Staff your answer with a brief argument for the option you reccomend)

Priscilla Diller quit her $60,000 per year job with South Central Construction to open her own company, Diller Didactic Consulting. She rented an office in the Peach Street Professional Building for $550 a month, hired a receptionist for $1,500 a month, and leased a computer from Silly Clone Systems for $130 per month. At first, business was slow, so Priscilla paid $800 to use a mailing list and sent out 1,200 advertising brochures. The cost of postage and printing was $1.37 per brochure. Business improved immediately, and no further advertising has been necessary. Priscilla's business improved so much that she hired two associates for $5,000 per month and installed them in the remaining two offices in the Peach Street Professional Building, and then she bought the building for $198,000. She replaced her one leased computer with three computers of the same type that she purchased from Silly Clone Systems for $22,000 and she talked
