Answer 1

$1,000,00

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid to Construction company = $600,000

Additional expenditures in 2021 are Feb 28 = 90,000, Apr. 30 180,000, Jul. 1 = 36,000, Sept. 30 = 64,000. Avoidable interest Cost = 30,000

So, amount to be capitalized in Martin's Building account = $600,000 + $90,000 + $180,000 + $36,000 + $64,000 + $30,000 = $1,000,000
