    Sir

    Long term funds are more expensive and less risky

    And

    Short term funds are less expense and more risky

    Am I correct ?

    But why are the long term funds less risky sir

    Is it because of tax shields that the long term funds are less risky compared to short term acquisition of funds ?

    No, it is nothing to do with tax shields.

    It is partly because long-term borrowing is usually at fixed interest rates and so they are not at risk of interest rates changing. Also, there is no chance of the borrowing being repayable immediately as is a risk with overdraft borrowing.
