Assume that Skysong completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total cost of $13,520,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $9,360,000. Compute the avoidable interest on this project. (Use interest rates rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 7.58% for computational purposes and round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Depreciation Expense

Answer 1

Answer:-

a) Avoidable interest = 1056472

WAAE: = 9,360,000

1. Find interest rate for other debt
- Short term: (3,640,000 x 0.10) = 364,000
- Long term: (2,600,000 x 0.11) = 286,000
----------------------------------
Total expenditures = 6,240,000
Total Interest expense: 650,000

(650,000/6,240,000) = 10.42%

2. Calculate avoidable interest
- Construction loan: (5,200,000 x 0,12% = 624,000
- Other debt: (4,160,000 x 0.1042) = 433472
----------------------------------
Total avoidable interest: 1056472

b) Calculate depreciation expense

Total building cost:
=13,500,000
+ 1056472
-------------------------
Total building cost = 14,576,472

=(14576472-780000) / 30 = 459882.4

= 459882
