Answer:

$8,190

Explanation:

Expenditures:

Jan 1: $40,000

Mar 1: $120,000

Oct 31: $96,000

Average accumulated expenditures:

= Expenditure in 1st Jan + Expenditure in 1st Mar × [tex]\frac{10 months}{12 months}[/tex] + Expenditure in 31st Oct × [tex]\frac{2 months}{12 months}[/tex]

= $40,000 + $120,000×[tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] + $96,000×[tex]\frac{2}{12}[/tex].

= $156,000

Loan:

6%, $60,000 construction loan

4%, $90,000 note payable not related to construction

6%, $90,000 note payable not related to construction

The average interest rate by weighted average method:

[($60,000×6%)+($90,000×4%) +($90,000×6%)] /($60,000+$90,000+$90,000) = 5.25%

Interest capitalized = average interest rate × average accumulated expenditures = 5.25%×$156,000 = $8,190.
