Answer:

UML Inc.

The interest capitalized for 2020 was:

= $70,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date                                  Amount       Weight    Weighted Average

January 1, 2020          $ 500,000        24/24             $500,000

July 1, 2020                 $ 300,000         18/24               225,000

December 1, 2020      $ 600,000         13/24               325,000 $1,050,000

March 31, 2021            $ 300,000          9/24                 112,500

September 30, 2021  $ 200,000           3/24                 25,000

Total accumulated weighted-average expenditure  for 2020 = $1,050,000

Interest capitalized

Construction loan = $600,000 * 8% = $48,000

Part from the bond=   $450,000 * 5% =   22,500

= $70,500
