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

If, as a person consumes more and more of a good, each additional unit adds less satisfaction than the previous unit consumed, w
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that keeping other things constant there is an inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price.

According to the law of increasing marginal opportunity cost with each additional output the marginal opportunity cost to produce next unit of output increases.

While the law of supply states that keeping other things constant there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied.

According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, the marginal utility derived from the consumption of each additional unit of good keeps declining as more and more unit of goods is consumed.

So, option D is the correct answer.
