Answer and Explanation:

The presentation is presented below:

Particulars          3/31/21             6/30/21              9/30/21              12/31/21    

Property taxes    $270,000       $270,000          $270,000            $270,000

Repairs                                        $900,000          $900,000           $900,000

Total                   $270,000        $1,170,000          $1,170,000          $1,170,000

The property taxes is divided into four quarters i.e

= $1,080,000 ÷ 4 quarters

= $270,000

While the repairs are divided into 3 quarters i.e

= $2,700,000 ÷ 3 quarters

= $900,000
