Question Harrisburg Furniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $5,015,800 on January 1, 2014. Harrisburg expected to complete the building by December 31, 2014. Harrisburg has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period. Construction loan—12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2013 $2,010,800 Short-term loan—10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2015 1,621,200 Long-term loan—11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year; principal payable on January 1, 2018 1,029,900 Assume that Harrisburg completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2014, as planned at a total cost of $5,211,600, and the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures was $3,814,400. Compute the avoidable interest on this project. (Use interest rates rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 7.58% for computational purposes and round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) Compute the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2015. Harrisburg elected to depreciate the building on a straight-line basis and determined that the asset has a useful life of 30 years and a salvage value of $304,700

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Answer:

Bec avoidable interest is lower than actual interest so use avodable interest.

Cost+Avoidable interest=$5,211,600+428690.04=5640290.04

Dep expense=5640290.04-304700/30 years=$177853
