Answer:

$215,000

Explanation:

The calculation of the  total amount of expenses related to Kailey, and to Denber's acquisition of Kailey, for 2014 is given below:

= (Annual amount of amortization related to this acquisition × number of months) ÷ (Total number of months) + (expenses incurred × number of months) ÷ (Total number of months)

= ($15,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months) + ($630,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months)  

= $5,000 + $210,000

= $215,000

We assume the books are closed on December 31.
