Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes is 10.1%

Explanation:

This problem requires us to compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes. The wacc can be calculated in the following way.

          Loan Amount Outstanding                                    Weightage                                          (LOA)                                                                        (LAO/Total)

                     $ 868,933      (1,042,720/12*10)                 13.6%    

                     $ 2,039,800                                                32%

                     $ 3,462,500                                                54.4%

Total              $ 6,371,233

WAAC = 13% * 13.6% + 9% * 32% + 10% * 54.4%

WAAC = 10.1%
