    The total amortization expense Geithner may deduct during the current year is d. $4,350

    Explanation:

    The amortisation is (43000 + 15000) / 120 months * 9 months = $ 4,350

    The amortisation period is the shorter of the patent's legal (20 years for utility patents) or useful life (10 years).
