(Capitalization of Interest) The following three situations involve the capitalization of interest

Situation I: On January 1, 2017, Oksana Baiul, Inc. signed a fixed-price contract to have Builder Associates construct a major plant facility at a cost of \(4,000,000. It was estimated that it would take 3 years to complete the project. Also on January 1, 2017, to finance the construction cost, Oksana Baiul borrowed \)4,000,000 payable in 10 annual installments of \(400,000, plus interest at the rate of 10%. During 2017, Oksana Baiul made deposit and progress payments totaling \)1,500,000 under the contract; the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures was \(800,000 for the year. The excess borrowed funds were invested in short-term securities, from which Oksana Baiul realized investment income of \)250,000.

Instructions

What amount should Oksana Baiul report as capitalized interest at December 31, 2017?

Situation II: During 2017, Midori Ito Corporation constructed and manufactured certain assets and incurred the following interest costs in connection with those activities.

Interest Costs Incurred

Warehouse constructed for Ito鈥檚 own use

\(30,000

Special-order machine for sale to unrelated customer, produced according to customer鈥檚 specifications

9,000

Inventories routinely manufactured, produced on a repetitive basis

8,000

All of these assets required an extended period of time for completion.

Instructions

Assuming the effect of interest capitalization is material, what is the total amount of interest costs to be capitalized?

Situation III: Peggy Fleming, Inc. has a fiscal year ending April 30. On May 1, 2017, Peggy Fleming borrowed \)10,000,000 at 11% to finance construction of its own building. Repayments of the loan are to commence the month following completion of the building. During the year ended April 30, 2018, expenditures for the partially completed structure totaled \(7,000,000. These expenditures were incurred evenly throughout the year. Interest earned on the unexpended portion of the loan amounted to \)650,000 for the year.

Instructions

How much should be shown as capitalized interest on Peggy Fleming鈥檚 financial statements on April 30, 2018?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Situation I: - Capitalized interest = $80,000

Situation II: - The amount to be capitalized is $30,000 and $9,000

Situation III: - The amount of interest that must be capitalized is $385,000

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Capitalization of Interest

As with other interests, capitalized interest accumulates on an asset or loan, but it is not immediately recognized as an expense on the income statement. The accrued interest is deducted from the asset's value on the income statement, which includes the interest on its total value on the balance sheet.

02

(Situation I) Determining the amount that Oksana Baiul should report as capitalized interest on December 31, 2017

$80,000 is the amount Oksana Baiul should declare as capitalized interest on 12/31/17. The amount of interest that can be capitalized is:

AvoidableInterest=Weighted-AccumulatedexpenditureInterestrate

As Oksana Baiul has outstanding debt for the building project over the weighted-average cumulative expenditures of $800,000, the interest rate is 10%. As a result, the avoidable interest is $80,000, less than the actual interest.

AvoidableInterest=Weighted-AccumulatedexpenditureInterestrate=$800,0000.10=$80,000

Finally, the interest generated of $250,000 is immaterial to the situation because interest paid on the unexpended portion of the loan is not to be deducted against the amount eligible for capitalization.

03

(Situation II) Computing the total interest costs to be capitalized.

Total interest expenses must be capitalized, which costs $39,000. Assets developed for an enterprise's use and assets intended for sale or lease that are generated as distinct projects are identified as assets that qualify for interest capitalization under GAAP. Interest capitalization does not apply to inventories consistently produced in big numbers regularly. Only $30,000 and $9,000 are capitalized as a result.

04

(Situation III) Computing the amount that should be shown as capitalized interest on Peggy Fleming’s financial statements on April 30, 2018

$385,000鈥攖he goal is to figure out how much interest should be capitalized on the financial statements as of April 30, 2018. The criteria of GAAP are met:

  1. The asset has been purchased,
  2. The actions required to prepare the asset for its planned use are underway, and
  3. Interest costs are being incurred. The amount to be capitalized is calculated by multiplying the weighted-average amount of cumulative expenditures for the asset during the period by an interest rate.

The weighted-average amount of expenditures for the year ending April 30, 2018, is $3,500,000 ($7,000,000/2). As a result, the amount of interest that must be capitalized is $385,000 ($3,500,000 X 11%). The entire amount of interest cost to be capitalized at any given time must not exceed the total amount of interest cost incurred by the business. (The total amount of interest is $1,100,000.)

Finally, since interest collected on the unexpended portion of the loan is not to be adjusted against the amount eligible for capitalization, the $650,000 in interest generated is irrelevant to the point addressed in this problem.

Crowe Company purchased a heavy-duty truck on July 1, 2014, for \(30,000. It was estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years and then would have a trade-in value of \)6,000. The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1, 2018, for a similar truck costing \(42,000; \)16,000 was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $26,000 was paid in cash. A comparison of expected cash flows for the trucks indicates the exchange lacks commercial substance. What is the entry to record the trade-in?

(Analysis of Subsequent Expenditures) The following transactions occurred during 2017. Assume that depreciation of 10% per year is charged on all machinery and 5% per year on buildings, on a straight-line basis, with no estimated salvage value. Depreciation is charged for a full year on all fixed assets acquired during the year, and no depreciation is charged on fixed assets disposed of during the year.

Jan. 30 A building that cost \(132,000 in 2000 is torn down to make room for a

New building. The wrecking contractor was paid \)5,100 and was

permitted to keep all materials salvaged.

Mar. 10 Machinery that was purchased in 2010 for \(16,000 is sold for \)2,900

cash, f.o.b. purchaser鈥檚 plant. Freight of \(300 is paid on the sale of this

machinery.

Mar. 20 A gear breaks on a machine that cost \)9,000 in 2009. The gear is

replaced at a cost of \(2,000. The replacement does not extend the

useful life of the machine but does make the machine more efficient.

May 18 A special base installed for a machine in 2011 when the machine was

purchased has to be replaced at a cost of \)5,500 because of defective

workmanship on the original base. The cost of the machinery was

\(14,200 in 2011. The cost of the base was \)3,500, and this amount was

charged to the Machinery account in 2011.

June 23 One of the buildings is repainted at a cost of $6,900. It had not been

painted since it was constructed in 2013.

(Capitalization of Interest) Vania Magazine Company started construction of a warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of \(5,000,000 on January 1, 2016, and completed the building on December 31, 2016. During the construction period, Vania has the following debt obligations outstanding.

Construction loan鈥12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2015

\)2,000,000

Short-term loan鈥10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity, on May 30, 2017

1,400,000

Long-term loan鈥11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year; principal payable on January 1, 2019

1,000,000

Total cost amounted to \(5,200,000, and the weighted average of accumulated expenditures was \)3,500,000.

Jane Esplanade, the president of the company, has been shown the costs associated with this construction project and capitalized on the balance sheet. She is bothered by the 鈥渁voidable interest鈥 included in the cost. She argues that, first, all the interest is unavoidable鈥攏o one lends money without expecting to be compensated for it. Second, why can鈥檛 the company use all the interest on all the loans when computing this avoidable interest? Finally, why can鈥檛 her company capitalize all the annual interest that accrued over the period of construction?

Instructions

(Round the weighted-average interest rate to two decimal places.)

You are the manager of accounting for the company. In a memo, explain what avoidable interest is, how you computed it (being especially careful to explain why you used the interest rates that you did), and why the company cannot capitalize all its interest for the year. Attach a schedule supporting any computations that you use.
