Answer:

Plan1=$144000 Plan2= $138400

Plan two is  lower than plan 1 interest so it is the better plan

Explanation:

First option

$800000×0.09 =72000

So for two years

$72000×2=$144000

Second option

first year

800000×0.0675=$54000

second year

800000×0.1055=$84400

adding the two

$54000+$84400

=$138400

Plan two is  lower than plan 1 interest so it is the better plan
