Answer:

Total assets= $350,000

Total expenses= $250,000

In the scenario described above, Aspen incorporation incurred $250,000 during the period of the transport device development

Hence the total amount of expenses is $250,000

Patent can be described as a type of intangible assets that, although this type of assets is a bit hard to estimate it's value, it is still grouped as an asset.

It is a full right that is given to an organisation, it gives them complete control and access to manufacture or produce a particular product for a long time.
