By establishing a long-term financing arrangement for temporary current assets, a firm is assured of having necessary funding in good times as well as bad, thus we say there is low risk. However, long-term financing is generally more expensive than short-term financing and profits may be lower than those which could be achieved with a synchronized or normal financing arrangement for temporary current assets

By financing a portion of permanent current assets on a short-term basis, we run the risk of inadequate financing in tight money periods. However, since short-term financing is less expensive than long-term funds, a firm tends to increase its profitability over the long run (assuming it survives). In answer to the preceding question, we stressed less risk and less return; here the emphasis is on risk and high return.
