Required:
Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2016.

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,120,500

Explanation:

January 1   $500,000*12/12*9%=$45,000

March  1     $600,000*10/12*9%=$45,000

July 31        $480,000*5/12*9%=$18,000

September 30 $600,000*3/12*9%=$13,500

December 31   $300,000*0/12=0

Interest on Bonds Outstanding      $11,100,000*9%=$999,000

Total Interest to be capitalized=$1,120,500
