January 1, 2019 5439000 * 9/9 5439000
January 31, 2019 351000 * 8/9 312000
April 30, 2019 684000 * 5/9 380000
August 31, 2019 981000 * 1/9 109000
Accumulated expenditures 7455000
Before interest

Weighted-average rate of all other debt

$6,000,000 * 8% = $ 480,000

$9,000,000 * 10% = $ 900,000

Weighted Average = 1380000 / 15,000,000 = 9.2%

Interest capitalized:

$3,900,000 * 12% x 9/12 = $351,000

2,340,000 x 9.2% x 9/12 = 161,460

Total = 512460 Interest capitalized in 2019

Cost of Building:

Expenditures in 2018= $3,325,000

Interest capitalized in 2018: 399,000

Expenditures in 2019: 2,016,000

6,000,000 x 8% = 480,000

9,000,000 x 10% =900,000

Total interest incurred 1,779,000

Less: Capitalized (399,000)

2018 expense $ 1,449,000

Interest Expense for 2019:

Total interest incurred $1,779,000

Less: Capitalized (512,460)

2019 expense $ 1,266,540
