Exercise 10-7 Blossom Furniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $5,035,100 on January 1, 2017. Blossom expected to complete the building by December 31, 2017. Blossom has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period. Construction loan-10% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2016 $2,016,600 Short-term loan-8% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2018 1,589,000 Long-term loan-9% interest, payable on January 1 of each year. Principal payable on January 1, 2021 997,900

Assume that Blossom completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2017, as planned at a total cost of $5,203,700, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $3,826,900. 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.)
