21.28%

Explanation:

Note: Assuming 365 day year

Cost of giving up cash discount = [Discount rate / (1-Discount rate)] * 365 / [Credit period - Discount period]

Cost of giving up cash discount = [0.02/(1-0.02)] * [365/(45-10)]

Cost of giving up cash discount = [0.02/0.98] * [365/35]

Cost of giving up cash discount = 0.0204082 * 10.42857

Cost of giving up cash discount = 0.212828

Cost of giving up cash discount = 21.28%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
