Answer:

$939,220

Explanation:

6400000 +12000000 = 18400000

we have to calculate the average interest on the general borrowing

= (10% of 6400000/ 18400000) + (11% of 12000000/18400000)

= 10% x 0.3478 + 11% x 0.65217

= 0.03478 + 0.0717

= 0.10648

= 10.65%

avoidable interest = (amount borrowed x percentage) + (expenditure-amount borrowed) x 10.65%

= 3200000*12% + (8,413,333-3200000)x10.65%

= 384000 + 555219.9

= $939,219.9

≈ $939,220
