hard · Financial Accounting assets

An entity capitalizes interest on a self-constructed asset. During the year, weighted-average accumulated expenditures are $4,000,000. The entity has a specific $2,500,000 construction loan at 6% and general debt of $5,000,000 at 9% and $3,000,000 at 11%. Actual total interest incurred for the year is $1,070,000.

What amount of interest should be capitalized (rounded to the nearest dollar)?

  1. $300,000, capitalizing 6% on the full weighted-average expenditures using the specific-loan rate
  2. $295,313, applying 6% to the specific borrowing and the general weighted-average rate to the excess expenditures
  3. $391,000, applying the weighted-average rate of all debt to the entire weighted-average expenditures
  4. $240,000, limiting capitalized interest to the interest actually incurred on the specific construction loan
