Question
A company constructs a building for its own use. Construction began on January 1 and ended on December 30. The expenditures for
construction were as follows: January 1, $610,000; March 31, $710,000; June 30, $510,000; October 30, $930,000. The company
arranged a 10% loan on January 1 for $920,000. Assume the $920,000 loan is not specifically tied to the construction of the building.
The company's other borrowings, outstanding for the whole year, consisted of a $2 million loan and a $4 million note with interest
rates of 12% and 9%, respectively.
Assuming the company uses the weighted-average method, calculate the amount of interest capitalized for the year.
Note: Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage
answers to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34%).
* Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
