    The correct answer to the question is option B,$25000.

    Explanation:

    This $25000 commission costs would not have been incurred if the contract was not negotiated and agreed upon. As a result the commission costs qualify to be recognized as asset and then amortized to income statement over the contract life so as to match it against yearly revenue from the contract.

    The design costs and costs of printing are merely costs of sales for the contract that could be expensed in the first year of the contract.
