VII. Interest Capitalization (12pts)
Goodrich began construction on an office building on May 1, 2002. The following expenditures were incurred during 2002 for construction: Date Expenditures 5/1/02 $ 60, 8/1/02 40, 10/1/02 65, 12/1/02 220,

On 1/1/02, a 2-year construction loan was obtained amounting to $150,000 at 5% interest. The only other debt outstanding during 2002 was a $700,000, 10%, 20-year bond payable dated January 1, 1996.
i. The weighted average accumulated expenditures on the construction project for the year 2002 is how much?
ii. How much is the actual interest cost incurred for 2002?
iii. Independent of your answer in (i) above , assume the 2002 average accumulated expenditures for the construction project was $230,000.
a. How much is total 2002 AVOIDABLE interest if the Average capitalization interest method is used?
b. How much is total 2002 AVOIDABLE interest if the Specific capitalization interest method is used?
During Fiscal year 2002 the retailer JQ Penny’s Sales Revenue increased 5% as compared to the prior year. Their Cost of Goods Sold Expense decreased 25% in 2002 as compared to 2001. This led to a 31% increase in Gross Profit levels for 2002 as compared to 2001. Since JQ Penny’s started their business ( years ago), there has tended to be inflation over time and in 2002 retail inventory costs have increased about 6%. Their year end inventory levels dropped dramatically in 2002 as compared to 2001. This was due to management’s belief that there would be a severe economic downturn in early 2003 and they did not want to be overstocked. JQ Penny’s uses Retail Dollar Value LIFO to account for inventory.
What would most likely account for the dramatic decrease in cost of goods sold and increase in gross profit, given the above scenario?
