Answer:

$183,700

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.

First step is to calculate the Accumlated expenditure

Date Expenditure * Weight = Average

January 1 660000 * 12/12 =660,000

March 1 696000 * 10/12 = 580,000

July 31 576000 * 5/12 = 240,000

September 30 760000 * 3/12 =190,000

December 31 460000 * 0/12 = 0

Accumulated expenditure=660,000+580,000+240,000+190,000

Accumulated expenditure=$1,670,000

Now let determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018

Interest capitalized for 2018=$1,670,000 * 11%

Interest capitalized for 2018=$183,700

Therefore the amount of interest capitalized for 2018 is $183,700
