Answer:
avoidable interest (capitalized through building account) $215,642.09
Explanation:
capitalization of construction cost:
Date outlay weight subtotal
March 1 388,800.00 0.83 324,000.00
June 1 648,000.00 0.58 378,000.00
July 1 1,620,000.00 0.50 810,000.00
Dec 1 1,620,000.00 0.08 135,000.00
Total Capitalization 1,647,000.00
We multiply the expenditures by the time exposed to interest
(from the date they are incurred until year end)
Then, we add them to know the total amount to capitalize
Now, we calcualte the average rate:
Debt outstanding rate interest
3,240,000 0.13 421200
4,320,000 0.14 604800
1,728,000 0.11 190080
9288000 1216080
the average interest will be the division between the interest and the total debt outstanding:
1,216,080 / 9,288,000 = 0.130930233
Finally we calculate the avoidable interest:
Capitalization x average rate: 215,642.093
