Question

Transcribed Image Text:P10-7B (LO4) (Capitalization of Interest) Phipps Inc. is a large scale bakery that had been operating in its original facility
since 1960. The increase in designer cakes and the popularity of cooking shows on cable has contributed to an annual growth
rate of 15% for Phipps since 2013. Phipps' original facility became obsolete by early 2017 because of the increased sales volume
and the fact that Phipps markets their bakery products world-wide.
On July 1, 2017, Phipps contracted with Cakes Construction to have a new bakery constructed for $2,000,000 on land owned
by Phipps. The payments made by Phipps to Cakes Construction are shown in the schedule below.
Date
Amount
August 1, 2017
November 30, 2017
April 30, 2018
Total payments
$ 500,000
840,000
660,000
$2,000,000
Construction was completed and the building was ready for occupancy on April 29, 2018. Phipps had no new borrowings
directly associated with the new building but had the following debt outstanding at April 30, 2018, the end of its fiscal year.
8%, 10-year note payable of $1,000,000, dated January 1, 2014, with interest payable annually on December 31.
6%, 20-year bond issue of $2,000,000 sold at par on July 1, 2003, with interest payable annually on June 30.
The new building qualifies for interest capitalization. The effect of capitalizing the interest on the new building, compared
with the effect of expensing the interest, is material.
