Question
Situation I On January 1, 2014, Oksana Baiul, Inc. signed a fixed-price contract to have Builder Associates construct a major plant facility at a cost of $4,310,000. It was estimated that it would take 3 years to complete the project. Also on January 1, 2014, to finance the construction cost, oksana Baiul borrowed $4,310,000 payable in 10 annual installments of $431,000, plus interest at the rate of 10%. During 2014, Oksana Baiul made deposit and progress payments totaling $1,616,250 under the contract; the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $861,999 for the year. The excess borrowed funds were invested in short-term securities, from which Oksana Baiul realized investment income of $259,000. What amount should Oksana Baiul report as capitalized interest at December 31, 2014? (Round answer to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,275.) Capitalized interest Situation II During 2014, Midori Ito Corporation constructed and manufactured certain assets and incurred the following interest costs in connection with those activities. Interest Costs Incurred Warehouse constructed for Ito's own use Special-order machine for sale to unrelated customer, produced according to customer's specifications Inventories routinely manufactured, produced on a repetitive basi $30,600 9,670 8,110 All of these assets required an extended period of time for completion. Assuming the effect of interest capitalization is material, what is the total amount of interest costs to be capitalized? The total amount of interest costs to be capitalizedExplanation / Answer
$861,999 @10% = $86,200
Warehouse cost
$30,600
Special order machine
9,670
Total
$40,270
(7,117,600 ) / 2 = $3,558,800
Therefore amount of interest to be capitalized is
3,558,800 @11% = $391,468
- Weighted average accumulated expenditures * interest rate = Avoidable interest
$861,999 @10% = $86,200
- Inventories don not qualify for capitalization , therefore
Warehouse cost
$30,600
Special order machine
9,670
Total
$40,270
- Weighted average amount of expenditures for the year is
(7,117,600 ) / 2 = $3,558,800
Therefore amount of interest to be capitalized is
3,558,800 @11% = $391,468
