In Bonita's interim income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018, what is the total amount of expense relating to these two items that should be reported?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total expenses 936,500

depreciation 291,500

wages expense 645,000

Explanation:

Assuming the depreciation are calculate base on straight line or that their output is lineal through the year:

It will be half of the depreciation for the year.

583,000 / 2 =  291,500 depreciation expense for six-month

For the year-end bonused It wll be the same ideal, we assume are earned equally during the year. So at half year half of the bonuses should be earned:

wages expense 1,290,000/2 = 645,000

Total expenses 936,500
