Harrisburg Furniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $5,000,000 on ¬January 1, 2020. Harrisburg expected to complete the building by December 31, 2020. Harrisburg has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period.
Construction loan—12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2019 $2,000,000
Short-term loan—10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2021 1,400,000
Long-term loan—11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year. Principal payable on January 1, 2024 1,000,000 Instructions (Carry all computations to two decimal places.)

(a) Assume that Harrisburg completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total cost of $5,200,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $3,600,000. Compute the avoidable interest on this project.
(b) Compute the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 $300,000.

Answer:

(a) $406,720

(b) $176,891

Explanation:

(a) (i) Interest payable on short term loan in 2020:

= 1,400,000 × 10%

= $140,000

Interest payable on long term loan in 2020:

= 1,000,000 × 11%

= $110,000

Weighted average interest rate:

= [(Interest payable on short term loan + Interest payable on long term loan) ÷ (1,400,000 + 1,000,000)] × 100

= [($140,000 + $110,000) ÷ (1,400,000 + 1,000,000)] × 100

= ($250,000 ÷ 2,400,000) × 100

= 10.42%

(ii) Avoidable interest on this project:

= (2,000,000 × 12%) + [(3,600,000 - 2,000,000) × 10.42%]

= 240,000 + 166,720

= $406,720

(b) Total capitalization cost:

= Cost to complete the construction + Avoidable interest

= $5,200,000 + $406,720

= $5,606,720

Depreciation:

= (Total capitalization cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated life

= ($5,606,720 - $300,000) ÷ 30

= $5,306,720 ÷ 30

= $176,891

Depreciation refers to the process of decrease in the monetary value of the assets due to the wear and tear of the assets. This is called the non-cash expense because there is no cash flow in depreciation.  

The answer are:

(a) $406,720

(b) $176,891

The computation of the various aspects are:

(a) (i) Interest payable on short term loan in 2020:

[tex]= 1,400,000 \times 10\%= \$140,000[/tex]

Interest payable on long term loan in 2020:

[tex]= 1,000,000 \times11\%=\$110,000[/tex]

Weighted average interest rate:

[tex]\begin{aligned}=\frac{\text{Interest payable on short term loan + Interest payable on long term loan}}{1,400,000 + 1,000,000}\times 100\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}&= \frac{\$140,000 + \$110,000}{1,400,000 + 1,000,000} \times 100\\&= \frac{\$250,000}{\$2,400,000} \times 100\\&= 10.42\%\end{aligned}[/tex]

(ii) Avoidable interest in this project:

[tex]= (2,000,000 \times 12\%) + (3,600,000 - 2,000,000) \times 10.42\%= 240,000 + 166,720= \$406,720[/tex]

(b) Total capitalization cost:

[tex]= \text{Cost to complete the construction + Avoidable interest}= \$5,200,000 + \$406,720= \$5,606,720[/tex]

Depreciation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&= \frac{\text{Total capitalization cost - Salvage value}}{\text{Estimated life}}\\&=\frac{\$5,606,720 - \$300,000}{30}\\&= \$176,891\end{aligned}[/tex]
