37. Berton Company reported assets totaling $870,000 as of December 31, 2016. The following information relates to those assets: 8 points

(a)

Breakstone Labs, a rival company, recently offered to give a $100,000 signing bonus to the head of Berton's fabrication department if she would leave Berton and join Breakstone. She declined. Berton has consequently recorded a long-term asset, "Employees Under Contract," for $100,000.

(b)

Berton purchased a patent from a small research firm for $75,000. Subsequent research has shown that the patented technology doesn't work as well as originally thought and the technology actually has no economic use. Berton reports the patent at its amortized cost of $60,000.

(c)

An independent appraiser recently set Berton's market value at $500,000. This exceeded the book value of equity by $120,000. Accordingly, Berton recorded Goodwill totaling $120,000.

(d)

When Berton started business three years ago, it was required to deposit $5,000 with the local electric utility. The deposit is refundable if Berton cancels its electric service. Berton earns no interest on the deposit. The deposit is recorded as an "Other Long-Term Asset."

After considering the items above, what should be the total of Berton's reported assets?
