Answer 1

A. $13,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the royalty revenue is shown below:

= Estimated sales of the trademarked items × given percentage + September 2005 royalties received

= $30,000 ×15% + $8,500

= $4,500 + $8,500

= $13,000

For the first half, the royalty would be $8,500 and the second half it would depend on the estimated sales which we computed above
