Answer:
$140,500
Explanation:
first we must calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures:
incurred costs as follows:
January 1: $280,000 x 12/12 = $280,000
March 1: $600,000 x 10/12 = $500,000
June 30: $1,000,000 x 6/12 = $500,000
November 1: $480,000 x 2/12 = $80,000
total = $1,360,000
now we must calculate the weighted average interest rate on the non construction debt:
12% x $3 million = $360,000
10% x $1.8 million = $180,000
total = $540,000 / ($3,000,000 + $1,800,000) = 11.25%
capitalized interest:
$1,000,000 x 10% (specific construction debt) = $100,000
$360,000 x 11.25% (non construction debt) = $40,500
total $140,500
