Explanation:

                                   Arlington Company

           Schedule of Weighted-Average accumulated expenditure

Date        Amount             Current year          Weighted Average

                                            capitalization         Accumulated

                                           period                     Expenditures

1-Mar       $6,400,000            10/12                    $5,333,333

1-Jun       $5,280,000            7/12                      $3,080,000

31-Dec    $8,000,000            0/12                      $0

Total       $19,680,000.                                      $8,413,333

Note: Weighted-Average accumulated expenditure  = Amount * Current year capitalization period

Weighted average interest rate on general borrowings = 10% * (6,400,000 / 18,400,000) + 11%* (12,000,000 / 18,400,000)

=10.65%

Interest for specific borrowing should be capitalized for entire year.

Avoidable interest = ($3,200,000*12%) + ($8,413,333 - $3,200,000) * 10.65%

Avoidable interest = $939,220
