b. $1,500,000
c. $1,725,000
d. $2,045,000
Homework Answers
In 2019, $320,000 were spent for an unsuccessful defense of the copyright. Since in 2019, copyright was unsuccessfully defended, it ceased to be an asset from 2019. Hence, copyright should not appear in the balance sheet of the company.
Correct option is a.
