Answer to Question 1

A long-term note payable involves borrowing money for more than one year. Most long-term notes payable require repayment in the form of regular monthly payments. The payments consist of a combination of interest plus principal. At the end of the loan period the balance owed will be reduced to zero.

Using borrowed money to increase profits is called financial leverage. If Marcy can expand her business and earn additional profits, she should earn more than enough to cover her additional interest expenses.

The disadvantages of a long-term note payable involve the cost of carrying the debt, or interest. Marcy will also need cash from the expanded business, not just profits, to cover the interest and principal payments. Borrowing money now may limit Marcy's ability to borrow additional money until this loan is repaid.
