Metlock Inc. is a book distributor that had been operating in its original facility since 1990. The increase in certification programs and continuing education requirements in several professions has contributed to an annual growth rate of 15% for Metlock since 2015. Metlock' original facility became obsolete by early 2020 because of the increased sales volume and the fact that Metlock now carries CDs in addition to books.

On June 1, 2020, Metlock contracted with Black Construction to have a new building constructed for $4,640,000 on land owned by Metlock. The payments made by Metlock to Black Construction are shown in the schedule below.

Date                               Amount

July 30, 2020             $1,044,000

January 30, 2021      1,740,000

May 30, 2021           1,856,000

Total payments         $4,640,000

Construction was completed and the building was ready for occupancy on May 27, 2021. Metlock had no new borrowings directly associated with the new building but had the following debt outstanding at May 31, 2021, the end of its fiscal year.

  • 10%, 5-year note payable of $2,320,000, dated April 1, 2017, with interest payable annually on April 1.
  • 12%, 10-year bond issue of $3,480,000 sold at par on June 30, 2013, 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.
