At the beginning of the year, Cann Co. started construction on a new $2 million addition to its plant. Total construction expenditures made during the year were $200,000 on January 2, $600,000 on May 1, and $300,000 on December 1. On January 2, the company borrowed $500,000 for the construction at 12%. The only other outstanding debt the company had was a 10% interest rate, long-term mortgage of $800,000, which had been outstanding the entire year. What amount of interest should Cann capitalize as part of the cost of the plant addition

$72,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of interest capitalized is as follows:

= ($500,000 × 12%) + ($625,000 - $500,000) × 10%

= $60,000 + $12,500

= $72,500

The Average expenditure for the year  is

= ($200,000 × 12 ÷ 12) +  ($600,000 × 8 ÷ 12)  + ($300,000 × 1 ÷ 12)

= $200,000  + $400,000  + $25,000

= $625,000

answer; the correct answer is (0.08);

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
