NovakFurniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $14,000,000 on January 1, 2020. Novak expected to complete the building by December 31, 2020. Novak has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period.

Construction loan-12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2019   $5,600,000
Short-term loan-10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2021   4,200,000
Long-term loan-11% interest, payable on January 1 of each  year. Principal payable on January 1, 2024   2,800,000

 

Assume that Novak completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total cost of $14,560,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $10,080,000. Compute the avoidable interest on this project. (Use interest rates rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g. 7.58% for computational purposes and round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
