a. March 28 : Purchased an existing patent from an external corporation for $6,000 cash. The patent will not be used in the daily business operations, but instead will be held as a long-term investment. It is capable of generating royalty revenues for the business.
b. April 21 : To advertise the grand opening of the business, and increase customer awareness, the company paid $33,000 for television commercials and newspaper advertising.
c. July 9 : $3,000 was paid in legal fees while unsuccessfully attempting to defend the patent acquired previously for $6,000. Management now deems this patent no longer has significant revenue-generating ability.
