Explanation:
Computation of weighted average accumulated expenditure:
Payment Date |
Expenditure (A) |
Capitalization period (B) |
Weight (C=B/12) |
Weighted Expenditure(A*C) |

$300000 |
Sep 01,2018 |

$50000 |
Long Term Note |
$2500000 |

$3000000 |
$350000 |
Weighted Average interest Rate = Total interest / Total Principal = $350000/$3000000= 11.6667%
Capitalized Interest in 2018 = $450000 x 11.6667% = $52500
