Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.

First step is to calculate the Accumlated expenditure

DateExpenditure*Weight=Average

January 1660000*12/12=660,000

March 1696000*10/12=580,000

July 31576000*5/12=240,000

September 30760000*3/12=190,000

December 31460000*0/12=0

Accumulated expenditure=660,000+580,000+240,000+190,000

Accumulated expenditure=$1,670,000

Now let determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018

Interest capitalized for 2018=$1,670,000*11%

Interest capitalized for 2018=$183,700

Therefore the amount of interest capitalized for 2018 is $183,700

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.
