Question: (Classification of Costs and Interest Capitalization) On January 1, 2017, Blair Corporation purchased for \(500,000 a tract of land (site number 101) with a building. Blair paid a real estate broker’s commission of \)36,000, legal fees of \(6,000, and title guarantee insurance of \)18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was \(500,000 and the building value was \)100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of \(54,000.

Blair entered into a \)3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Slatkin Builders, Inc. on March 1, 2017, for the construction of an office building on land site number 101. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2018. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:

Plans, specifications, and blueprints \(21,000

Architects’ fees for design and supervision 82,000

The building is estimated to have a 40-year life from date of completion and will be depreciated using the 150% declining balance method.

To finance construction costs, Blair borrowed \)3,000,000 on March 1, 2017. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of \(300,000 starting on March 1, 2018, plus interest at the rate of 10%. Blair’s weighted-average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows.

For the period March 1 to December 31, 2017 \)1,300,000

For the period January 1 to September 30, 2018 1,900,000

Instructions

  1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site number 101 as of September 30, 2018.
  2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2018. Show supporting computations in good form.

(Capitalization of Interest) 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, 2017. Harrisburg expected to complete the building by December 31, 2017. Harrisburg has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period.

(B) Compute the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.
