($1,500,000 x 4/12) + (840,000 x 3/12) + (1,500,000 x 2/12) + (2,400,000 x 1/12) =$1,160,000 (UNDERSTAND)*
79.The actual interest cost incurred during 2012 was
a.$150,000. b.$168,000. c.$84,000. d.$140,000.
($1,200,000 x 9% x 10/12) + ($500,000 x 12%) = $150,000 (UNDERSTAND)* 80.Assume the weighted-average accumulated expenditures for the construction project are $870,000. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2012 is a.$130,500. b.$138,000. c.$150,000. d.$168,000.
($1,200,000 x 9%) + ($250,000 x .12) = 138,000 (DON'T UNDERSTAND) -PLEASE EXPLAIN WERE THE "250,000" COMES FROM????????
