    The amount of interest the Agasse will capitalize in 2021 is $60,975

    Explanation:

    Interest will be capitalized only for the period when loan amount is used for construction of new facility.

    To calculate amount of interest using following method

    Total loan amount take on April 1, 2021 = $1,500,000

    Payments to supplier:

    on April 1, 2021 = $409,000

    on August 31, 2021 = $909,000

    Remaining Loan on December 31, 2021 = $1,500,000 - $409,000 - $909,000

    Remaining Loan on December 31, 2021 = $182,000

    Interest on Payment of

    April 1, 2021 = $409,000 x 10% x (9/12) = $30,675

    August 31, 2021 = $909,000 x 10% x (4/12) = $30,300

    December 31, 2021 = $182,000 x 10% x 0 = $0

    Payment of $182,000 is made on the last date of the year so there will be interest charged on this payment which will be capitalized in this year.

    Total amount of interest the Agasse will capitalize in 2021 = $30,675 + $30,300 = $60,975
