Total Interest for 2018 = 8,200,000 x 7% = 574,000

Date Amount Months Capitalized Amount
01-02-2018 1600000 11                 1,466,666.67
01-03-2018 650000 10                    541,666.67
01-04-2018 600000 9                    450,000.00
01-08-2018 1100000 5                    458,333.33
01-10-2018 700000 3                    175,000.00
01-11-2018 800000 2                    133,333.33
5450000                 3,225,000.00

So Interest to be Capitalixed = 3,225,000 x 7% = 225,750

Interest to be Expensed = 574,000 - 225,750 = 348,250
