Interest Costs Incurred [Abstract] |
CAPITALIZED INTEREST | CAPITALIZED INTEREST The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and construction (active inventory). Capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is delivered to the buyer. During periods in which the Company’s active inventory is lower than its debt level, a portion of the interest incurred is reflected as interest expense in the period incurred. During the first three months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company’s active inventory exceeded its debt level, and all interest incurred was capitalized to inventory. The following table summarizes the Company’s interest costs incurred, capitalized and expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
