Explanation:

A.Computation of Weighted-Average Accumulated ExpendituresDateAmount×CapitalizationPeriod=Weighted-AverageAccumulated Expenditures

March 1$360,000 10/12 $300,000

June 1,600,000 7/12 $350,000

December 1 1,200,000 1/12 100,000

$3,160,000 $ 750,000

Computation of Avoidable Interest Weighted-AverageAccumulatedExpenditures×Interest Rate=Avoidable Interest

$750,000 × 0.12 (Construction loan) $90,000

Computation of Actual Interest

Actual Interest:

$1,000,000 × 12% $120,000

$2,000,000 × 12% 240,000
