    The amount to be repot is $1,450,000

    Explanation:

    in this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of selling expenses to be recorded in the company's consolidated income statement for that year.

    To answer this question, we employ a mathematical approach;

    Mathematically;

    Selling expenses = Total expenses - Contra Expenses

    from the question, we identify that total expenses is (1,100,000 + 400,000) = $1,500,000

    Contra expenses = $50,000

    The selling expenses is thus; 1,500,000 - 50,000 = $1,450,000
