Answer:

option 2 $75,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount for which the copyright to a book purchased = $15,000

Agreed royalty = 10% of the book sales

Minimum royalty to be paid= $60,000

Total book sales = $750,000

Now,

The Amount of royalty according to the agreement

= 10% of Total book sales

= 10% of $750,000

= $75,000

Since,

The amount the greater than the minimum royalty

Hence,

the agreement amount will be paid

i.e

option 2 $75,000
