    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Borrowed amount by west company from valley bank = $50,000

    Interest is paid annually = 6% per year

    Time period = From 1st September to 31st December

    = 4 months

    The note issued by West carried an 18-month term.

    Therefore,

    Interest expense = Principal amount * Rate * Time period

    = $50,000 * 6% * (4 : 12)

    = $50,000 * 0.06 * (1 : 3)

    = $1,000

    Therefore, the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1 is $1,000.
