**Note**What happens to your Soybean Chemical Expenses when this rebate is applied? An income amount (deposit) with an expense category reduces the over-all total in that expense category. Below is a transaction report for soybean chemicals (for more information on reports see the Reports chapter). As you can see, the $400.00 rebate reduced soybean chemical expenses from $2,000.00 to $1,600.00.
