Coronado Furniture Company started construction of a
combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an
estimated cost of $14,500,000 on January 1, 2020. Coronado expected
to complete the building by December 31, 2020. Coronado has the
following debt obligations outstanding during the construction
period.
Construction loan-12% interest, payable semiannually, issued
December 31, 2019
$5,800,000
Short-term loan-10% interest, payable monthly, and principal
payable at maturity on May 30, 2021
4,060,000
Long-term loan-11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year.
Principal payable on January 1, 2024
2,900,000
(a) Assume that Coronado completed the office
and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total
cost of $15,080,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated
expenditures was $10,440,000. Compute the avoidable interest on
this project. (Use interest rates rounded to 4 decimal
places, e.g. 7.5825% for computational purposes and round final
answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
