Solution :

The interest capitalization for 2021

Date                  Expenditure  x   Weight      =      Average

1 July,2021         700,000              6/12                350,000

30 Sept,2021     990,000              3/12               247,500

30 Nov, 2021     990,000              1/12                 82,500

Total                  2,680,000                                   680,000

                                               Amount  x interest rate  = Capitalization interest

Average total expenditure   680,000       8.50%                    57,800

The weighted average interest rate

[tex]$=\frac{3,000,000 \times 12\% + 7,000,000 \times 7\%}{3,000,000+7,000,000}$[/tex]

= 8.5 %

Balance as on 1st Jan, 2022 = [tex]$2,680,000+57,800 = 2,737,800$[/tex]

The interest Capitalized for 2022

Date                  Expenditure  x   Weight      =      Average

1 Jan,2022          2,737,800          12/12              2,737,800

30 Jan, 2022      930,000             11/12               852,500

Accumulated      3,667,800                                 3,590,300

expenditures

                                               Amount  x interest rate  = Capitalization interest

Average accumulated            3,590,000       8.50%                    305,175.5

expenditure
