poomie83 So if a company uses debt to fund a new project is that classified as avoidable interest? And it cant be less than interest from other activities?
moneyguy I think Avoidable Interest = Mkt Interest Rate. Not sure, though. :)
robbiecow The amount of interest that an organization would have avoided if it had not made the expenditures for an asset.
