Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

• C) if a firm that can borrow from its bank at a 6% interest rate buys materials on terms of 2/10 net 30, and if it must pay by day 30 or else be cut off, then we would expect to see zero accounts payable on its balance sheet.
• D) if one of your firm's customers is "stretching" its accounts payable, this may be a nuisance but it will not have an adverse financial impact on your firm if the customer periodically pays off its entire balance.
• E) under normal conditions, a firm's expected roe would probably be higher if it financed with short-term rather than with long-term debt, but using short-term debt would probably increase the firm's risk.
