$6/1$

$360,000$

$9/1$

To finance construction of the building, a $$600,000,12\%$ construction loan was taken out on $$February $1.$ The loan was repaid on November $1.$ The firm had $$200,000$ of other outstanding debt during the year at a borrowing rate of $8\%.$

What is the capitalization period for this building? Calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures.

I$\text{'}$m not sure capitalization period for this building is $9$ months$($feb$1-$nov$1).$ And when I calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditures, should I include do last year at a cost of $$150,000?$
