Answer:
$88,000
Explanation:
The company's total interest expense for the year = ($1,500,000 x 6%) + ($1,000,000 x 7%) = $90,000 + $70,000 = $160,000
The company can capitalize the weighted average expenses times the interest rate of the specific loan for this project. Since the costs were paid uniformly during the year, the weighted average costs = $2,400,000 / 2 = $1,200,000. It can capitalize interests for up to $1,200,000 x 6% = $72,000.
Total interests - capitalized interests = $160,000 - $72,000 = $88,000
