    Solution:

    a. Jorgensen paid the bonuses to the employees on March 1 of year 2.

    Year 1 Year 2

    Ken 40,000

    Jayne 30,000

    Jill 20,000

    Justin 10,000

    Total 100,000

    100,000 could be withheld if they had been compensated by two and a half months of the end of the year.

    b. Jorgensen paid the bonuses to the employees on April 1 of year 2.

    Year 1 Year 2

    Ken 40,000

    Jayne 30,000

    Jill 20,000

    Justin 10,000

    Total 100,000

    Can subtract 100,000 in year 2 because it has not been charged within 2 1⁄2 months of the end of the year.
