Calculate the amount of interest capitalized


A company constructs a building for its own use. Construction began on January 1 and ended on December 30. The expenditures for construction were as follows: January 1, $518,000; March 31, $608,000; June 30, $402,000; October 30, $606,000. To help finance construction, the company arranged a 7% construction loan on January 1 for $705,000. The company's other borrowings, outstanding for the whole year, consisted of a $3.04 million loan and a $5.07 million note with interest rates of 8% and 6%, respectively.

Assuming the company uses the specific interest method, Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for the year. (Round the Weighted-average rate to two decimal places (e.g. 12.34%) for calculation purposes. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)
