    In total the firm will capitalize interest thorught building account for 560,000 dollars

    Explanation:

    From the weighted average accumulated of 2,900,000

    we should first work with the interest incurred in specific borrowing:

    2,400,000 x 9% = 216,000

    then we subtract:

    2,900,000 - 2,400,000 = 500,000

    and forthis amount we apply the rate for the other debt outstanding

    500,000 x 12% = 60,000

    In total the firm will capitalize interest thorught building account for 560,000 dollars
