Question:

Eeyore Toys made significant renovations to one of its retail stores. Total costs of the renovation were $800,000 completed over six months ending October 31, 2014. The company financed the renovation costs with a short-term bank loan with a 6% interest rate. The company received the $500,000 proceeds from this loan on May 1, 2014, and repaid it in full on February 28, 2015. The remaining $300,000 of construction costs were financed from existing debt, which had an average interest rate of 9%. Payments made for construction costs were as follows:
