The payments made by Laserwords to Black Construction are shown in the schedule below.

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. Compute the weighted-average accumulated expenditures on Laserwords’s new building during the capitalization period.
