Question: Leclerc Inc. began constructing a building for its use on January 1, 2022. All costs associated with the construction are being debited to an account

Leclerc Inc. began constructing a building for its use on January 1, 2022. All costs associated with the construction are being debited to an account called Construction-in-Progress. The construction will take approximately 24 months. Weighted-average expenditures for 2022 have already been determined to be $5,000,000.

The company has one specific, as well as two non-specific loan borrowings. Details are as follows:

Specific Loan Borrowing: $4,000,000 loan at 9% taken out 1/1/2022 and due in 2025.

Non-specific Borrowings:

Note #1: $2,000,000 at 10%. This loan was outstanding for all of 2022 and is due in 2023.

Note #2: $500,000 at 12%. This loan was outstanding for all of 2022 and is due in 2024.

Part A What portion of the interest on all of its loans should be capitalized in 2022? Important: Round interest rates to two decimal places when expressed as a percentage (ex. .114321 = 11.43%) Part B If the company has already accrued and paid the 2022 interest costs on these three loans by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash, what adjusting journal entry should be made on 12/31/22 to capitalize interest in 2022?
