Zorn Corporation is deciding whether to pursue a restricted or relaxed working capital investment policy. The firm's annual sales are expected to total $5,750,000, its fixed assets turnover ratio equals 4.0, and its debt and common equity are each 50% of total assets. EBIT is $150,000, the interest rate on the firm's debt is 8%, and the tax rate is 40%. If the company follows a restricted policy, its total assets turnover will be 2.5. Under a relaxed policy its total assets turnover will be 2.3. If the firm adopts a restricted policy, how much lower would its interest expense be than under the relaxed policy? Do not round intermediate calculations.

a. $9,600 b. $8,000 c. $16,000 d. $4,800 e. $4,000
