Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories | Inventories Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
Land under development included land held for future development and land held for sale of $46.5 million and $.6 million, respectively, at May 31, 2021 and $74.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at November 30, 2020. Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities or land parcels are being actively developed and until homes are completed or the land is available for immediate sale. Capitalized interest is amortized to construction and land costs as the related inventories are delivered to homebuyers or land buyers (as applicable). In the case of land held for future development and land held for sale, applicable interest is expensed as incurred. Our interest costs were as follows (in thousands):
(a)Interest amortized to construction and land costs for the six months ended May 31, 2021 included $.2 million related to land sales during the period. There was no such interest amortized for the three months ended May 31, 2021 or the three months and six months ended May 31, 2020. (b)Capitalized interest amounts reflect the gross amount of capitalized interest, as inventory impairment charges recognized, if any, are not generally allocated to specific components of inventory.
