Flashcards: Capitalizing Property, Plant, and Equipment

Your answer:

$1,218,000

Your answer:

$1,200,000

Your answer:

$1,308,000

Correct answer:

$1,254,000

Explanation:

The capitalized cost of the building will include the principled borrowed as well as the average interest cost for the year. Total interest paid for the year is equal to $1.2M x 9% = $108K. Because the funds were spent evenly throughout the year, interest is averaged to best capture the cost of the building ($0 interest at the start of the year + $108K interest at the end of the year divided by 2 = $54K.) Therefore, the total capitalized cost is equal to $1.2M + $54K.

Your answer:

$240,000

Your answer:

$200,000

Correct answer:

$140,000

Explanation:

All of the interest on the portion of the loan not used for construction will be expensed in the current year ($500K x 8%). In addition, the portion of interest on the construction funds that is not capitalized should also be expensed. This is calculated by taking the average interest paid (because costs were incurred evenly throughout the year) and expensing the uncapitalized portion. Average interest is equal to $100K ($2.5M x 8% divided by 2). Therefore, total interest expense is $40K + $100K.
