The proper amount of expenses to be included in the income statement for the year is $6,650

Explanation:

The computation of the expense amount which is included in the income statement is shown below:

= Repair expenses + electricity bill + insurance expense

= $4,650 + $800 + $1,200

= $6,650

The insurance expenses are given for the three months but we have to calculate for the 2 months only

So for two months = $1,800 * 2 : 3 = $1,200

And, the wages are given for the last year which is not included in the income statement as it shows outstanding wages. So, we do not consider it.
