Sauer Food Company has decided to buy a new computer system with an expected life of three years. The cost is \(150,000. The company can borrow \)150,000 for three years at 10 percent annual interest or for one year at 8 percent annual interest.

What would be the total interest cost compared to the 10 percent, three-year loan?
