Answer:

Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00  

Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00  

The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense

Explanation:

Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years

principal amount is $720,000

interest rate is 10.20%

total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00  

Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00
