Answer:

a. $842,250

b. $842,250

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For avoidable interest

<u>Weighted average               Interest rate applied  avoidable interest</u>

<u>accumulated expenditures </u>

$5,205,000                               10%                           $520,500

$2,925,000                                11%                            $321,750

Total                                                                             $842,250

($8,130,000 - $5,205,000)

Working note for interest rate applied

<u>Particulars                   Principal                Interest</u>

12% ten year bond    $6,047,000            $725,640    

9% 3 year bond         $3,023,500            $272,115

total                            $9,070,500            $997,755

Now the interest rate is

= $997,755 ÷ $9,070,500

= 11%

2. Now the total interest capitalized is

Total interest is

= $520,500 + $725,640 + $272,115

= $1,518,255

And, the total avoidable interest is $842,250

So we considered the lesser amount i.e. $842,250

Answer:

How will this purchase impact the accounting equation of Perfect Printers at the time of the purchase?

An increase in the assets by $200,000 and a similar increase in liability by $200,000

Explanation:

The accounting equation is the foundation for the double enter system of account balancing. In this system, the amount of debits are entered on one side as the corresponding credit is entered on the other side. Then the total credits are added and compared to the sum of the debit. When the credit equals the debit, the accounts balance. The accounting equation can be expressed as;

A=L+E

where;

A=assets

L=liabilities

E=owner's equity

Lets enter the transaction as shown;

Account type                                   Asset                                Liability

Printing machine                          $200,000

Cash                                                                                       $200,000

Total                                              $200,000                        $200,000

An increase in the assets by $200,000 and a similar increase in liability by $200,000
