10.64%

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of interest

Intereston5YearNotePayable=NotePayable×InterestRate=$2,000,000×10%=$200,000

Intereston4YearNotePayable=NotePayable×InterestRate=$3,500,000×11%=$385,000

02

Calculation of total borrowed interest

TotalInterest=Intereston5YearNotePayable+Intereston4YearNotePayable=$200,000+$385,000=$585,000

TotalBorrowedAmount=5YearNotePayable+4YearNotePayable=$2,000,000+$3,500,000=$5,500,000

03

Calculation of Weighted average interest

WeightedAverageInterest=TotalInterestTotalBorrowedAmount×100=$585,000$5,500,000×100=10.64%
