In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 10%, 5-year, \)2,000,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $3,500,000 note payable.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of interest

Intereston5YearNotePayable=NotePayable×InterestRate=$2,000,000×10%=$200,000

Intereston4YearNotePayable=NotePayable×InterestRate=$3,500,000×11%=$385,000

02

Calculation of total borrowed interest

TotalInterest=Intereston5YearNotePayable+Intereston4YearNotePayable=$200,000+$385,000=$585,000

TotalBorrowedAmount=5YearNotePayable+4YearNotePayable=$2,000,000+$3,500,000=$5,500,000

03

Calculation of Weighted average interest

WeightedAverageInterest=TotalInterestTotalBorrowedAmount×100=$585,000$5,500,000×100=10.64%

Martin Buber Co. purchased land as a factory site for \(400,000. The process of tearing down two old buildings on the site and constructing the factory required 6 months. The company paid \)42,000 to raze the old buildings and sold salvaged lumber and brick for \(6,300. Legal fees of \)1,850 were paid for title investigation and drawing the purchase contract. Martin Buber paid \(2,200 to an engineering firm for a land survey, and \)68,000 for drawing the factory plans. The land survey had to be made before definitive plans could be drawn. Title insurance on the property cost \(1,500, and a liability insurance premium paid during construction was \)900. The contractor’s charge for construction was \(2,740,000. The company paid the contractor in two installments: \)1,200,000 at the end of 3 months and \(1,540,000 upon completion. Interest costs of \)170,000 were incurred to finance the construction.

Question: Two positions have normally been taken with respect to the recording of fixed manufacturing overhead as an element of the cost of plant assets constructed by a company for its own use: (a) It should be excluded completely. (b) It should be included at the same rate as is charged to normal operations.

Mehta Company traded a used welding machine (cost \(9,000, accumulated depreciation \)3,000) for office equipment with an estimated fair value of \(5,000. Mehta also paid \)3,000 cash in the transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the exchange. (The exchange has commercial substance.)

Freight and installation charges for the new equipment required a cash payment of \)1,100.

Instructions
