Answer:

$999.90

Explanation:

The interest expenses will be charged for 4 month (September 1 to December 31)

Interest expenses = $50,000 * 6% * 4/12

Interest expenses = $50,000 * 0.06 * 0.3333

Interest expenses = $999.90

So, the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1 is $999.90
