avoidable interest?

The company can avoid  $ 252,075.03   of interest expense

Explanation:

construction capitalized interest:

We need to do an average of the capitalized cost for the building considering the time outstandings:

mar-01  1,908,000.00  x 10/12 = 1,590,000.00

jun-01  1,308,000.00  x 7/12 =     763,000.00

dic-01  3,010,600.00  

                                        2,353,000.00

Now we calculatethe specifit borrowing interest:

especific borrowings:

$ 1,015,500x   0.11  =  110,012.50

non-specifit borrowings

2,353,000 -1,015,500 =  1,337,500.00  

We solve for average rate:

average rate

principal        rate     interest  

$2,195,2000.1$219520

$3,604,5000.11$396495

$5,799,700  $616015

total interest / total principal = average rate =  0.106214977

capitalized interest:

1,337,500 x  0.106214977 = 142,062.53  

total interest capitalized  

110,012.50    + 142,062.53  =  252,075.03  

answer; communities of interest; i believe this is correct, plz check first good luck;

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.  

the tool needs to needs to be used twice – once in order to find what type of people reside in a neighbourhood, and then to see the age groups of the people in the same neighbourhood.
