The amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2020 is:

= $948,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of purchased land = $2,680,000

Construction expenditures:

Date                        Expenditures:

January 1, 2020       $ 1,780,000

April 1, 2020              2,530,000

May 1, 2020               4,490,000

June 1, 2020             4,720,000

Total expenditure $13,520,000
