Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Marigold Inc. borrowed = $3,600,000 at 13 % payable annually
Expenditure related to the building :
March 1 = $432,000
June 1 = $720,000
July 1 = $1,800,000
December 1 = $1,800,000
As per the formula,
Weighted avg = (Amount × no. of months ) ÷ months in a year
Amounts no. of months months in a year weighted avg
Mar 1 $432,000 10 12 $360,000
June 1 $720,000 7 12 $420,000
July 1 $1,800,000 6 12 $900,000
Dec 1 $1,800,000 1 12 $150,000
Total weighted avg = $1,830,000
Interest on borrowed = $1,830,000 × 13%
= $237,900
Actual interest paid :
$3,600,000 × 13% = $468,000
$4,800,000 × 14% = $672,000
$1,920,000 × 11% =$211,200
So, total Actual interest paid = $1,351,200
