Answer:

$556,668

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

General Interest Calculation:-

At the rate of 14% Note payable outstanding = $4,200,000 × 14%

=$588,000

At the rate of 11% Note payable = $7,350,000 × 11% = $808,500

General interest = ($588,000 + $808,500) ÷ ($4,200,000 + $7,350,000)

=$1,396,500 ÷ $11,550,000 = $0.1209 or 12.09%

Weighted Average Qualifying Loan

 

Date      Payment ($) Used Funds Time÷Total Months Annualized Payment ($)    

1 March 3,780,000 10 Months÷12 Months              3,150,000    

1 June 2,520,000 7 Months÷12 Months               1,470,000    

31 Dec. 6,300,000 0 Months                                 0    

Total                                                                  4,620,000  

Calculation of Avoidable Interest

Weighted average qualifying loan = $4,620,000

Interest on Reminder of Loan = (Weighted Average Qualifying Loan-Sunland Company Borrowed) × General Interest

=  ($4,620,000 - $2,100,000) × 12.09%

= $304,668

Interest on specific loan= $2,100,000 × 12%

= $252,000

Avoidable interest for sunland company = $304,668 + $252,000

= $556,668
