Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1

2018:

            Expenditures for 2018:

            January    1, 2018                  $2,020,000 x 12/12 =     $2,020,000

            March     1, 2018                     1,740,000 x 10/12 =         1,450,000

            June       30, 2018                     1,940,000 x    6/12 =             970,000

            October   1, 2018                     1,740,000 x    3/12 =             435,000

            Accumulated expenditures

               (before interest) -                $7,440,000

            Average accumulated expenditures -                                  $4,875,000

            Interest capitalized:

            $4,875,000 x 12% = $585,000 = Interest capitalized in 2018

2019:

            January   1, 2019

          ($7,440,000 + 585,000) $8,025,000 x   9/9 = $8,025,000

            January 31, 2019                         441,000 x   8/9 =                 392,000

            April       30, 2019                         774,000 x   5/9 =                 430,000

            August 31, 2019                     1,071,000 x   1/9 =                 119,000

            Accumulated expenditures

               (before interest) -             $10,311,000

            Average accumulated expenditures -                                  $8,966,000

          Interest capitalized:

         $8,966,000                                                                

         - 4,900,000 x 12.0%   x 9/12 =       $441,000

           4,066,000 x    9.6%* x 9/12 =          292,752

                                                                             $733,752 = Interest capitalized in 2019

            * Weighted-average rate of all other debt:

         $ 2,000,000 x   8%   =        $160,000                       $960,000

             8,000,000 x   10%   =      800,000                                                   = 9.6%

        $10,000,000                          $960,000                    $10,000,000

Requirement 2

            Accumulated expenditures 9/30/19

            before interest capitalization (above)              $10,311,000

            2019 interest capitalized (above)                                733,752

            Total cost of building                                          $11,044,752

Requirement 3

2018

         $4,900,000 x 12% =                                                $   588,000

           2,000,000 x    8% =                                                      160,000

           8,000,000 x    10% =                                                    800,000

               Total interest incurred                                           1,548,000

               Less: Interest capitalized                                         (585,000)

                  2018 interest expense                                      $   963,000

2019

               Total interest incurred                                        $1,548,000

               Less: Interest capitalized                                         (733,752)
