Answer:

A. $35,000

Explanation:

The first $150,000 were invested in research and development of the product itself, not the patent. Thus, this amount should be debited to research and development expenses.

The only expenses directly related to the patent itself are the $20,000 spent on legal fees on January 2, 2017, and the $15,000 for legal fees in a successful defense of the patent on July 31, 2017.

Therefore, the total amount that should be debited to Patents (P) is:

P = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000

Option D is correct

Expected rate of return = 18.6%

The expected rate of return is the proportion of average investment that is earned as income . It is calculated as follows:

Rate of return on investment = average return / Average investment

Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/ 2

Average investment = 89,000 +14,000/ 2= 51500

Net income = $9,600

Expected rate of return =  9,600/51,500×  100
