c. $250,000

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Cost incurred evenly throughout the year = $6,000,000

Took out value = $2,500,000

Interest = 10%

So by considering the above information, the amount of interest capitalize is

= Took out value * Interest

= $2,500,000 * 10%

= $250,000

By multiplying the took out value with the interest we can get the amount of interest that should be capitalized for the year 2018
