Answer:

$1,609,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the Investment in Mopsy Co. balance as of December 31, 2020, if the equity method has been applied

First step is to calculate the Unrecorded Patents Amortization

Unrecorded Patents Amortization

=$1,400,000-[($6,400,000 - $3,000,000)×30%] /10 years

Unrecorded Patents Amortization

=$1,400,000- ($3,400,000 × 30%)/10 years

Unrecorded Patents Amortization

=$1,400,000 - $1,020,000/10 years

Unrecorded Patents Amortization = $380,000 / 10 years

Unrecorded Patents Amortization= $38,000

Now let determine the Investment

Investment=$1,400,000 + $180,000 + $225,000 - $60,000 - $60,000 - $38,000 - $38,000

Investment= $1,609,000

Therefore the Investment in Mopsy Co. balance as of December 31, 2020, if the equity method has been applied is $1,609,000
