Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Cost of copyright = $115,200

Amortization during 2015 to 2017 = $115,200/16*3 = $21,600

Carrying value at the end of 2017 = $115,200 - $21,600 = $93,600

Remaining useful life after 2017 = 4 years

Thereofre amortization expense for 2018 = $93,600 / 4 = $23,400

Hence 2nd option is correct.
