Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased by paying $270,000 immediately and signing a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay $670,000 on March 28, 2023. An interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $27,000 were paid at closing. At the end of April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $77,000, and an additional $57,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows: May 1      $2,250,000 July 30     1,850,000 September 1     1,320,000 October 1      2,220,000   How much interest expense will San Antonio report in its 2021 income statement?
