b. $432,000
c. $480,000

Explanation
Choice "a" is correct. Amortization of capitalized software costs equals the greater of straight-line amortization or sales revenue from the software for the period ÷ total projected sale.
Dec. 31, Year 1 balance $ 600,000
Year 2 amortization = 600,000 ÷ 4 = (150,000)
Dec. 31, Year 2 net capitalized cost $ 450,000
