reported the following intangibles in its December 31, 2018, statement of financial position:

Patent 200,000
Copyright 400,000

copyright and tradename for the foreseeable future. The accountant knows that the computer software
is used in the company's 120 sales offices. The company has replaced the software in 60 offices in 2019,
and expects to replace the software in 40 more offices in 2020 and the remainder in 2021
