Answer:

Avoidable interest is $272,064.

Explanation:

Compute the interest on new notes payable, using the equation as shown below:

Interest = Principalof 13% note payable × Rate of interest

=$1,059,300×13%

=$137,709

​  

Hence, the interest of new notes payable is $137,709.

Compute the interest of outstanding notes payable using the equation as follows:

Interest = Outstanding principal × Weighted average interest rate

=$1,268,700×10.59%

=$134,355

​    

Hence, the interest of outstanding principal which is needed to be considered for the calculation of avoidable interest is $134,355

Avoidable interest is $272,064.
