Answer:
d. brand name
Explanation:
If a company has the money, it can acquire much software that is necessary for the company. Therefore, option B is incorrect. The company can lease a new building through the capital, and a new building is a non-current asset. So, option C is also wrong. A new CEO is not an asset because the company has to pay a salary for the CEO that is an expense. So, option A is not correct.
The brand name is an asset to the company. Using capital, Threadbare Industries cannot acquire the brand name. A brand name cannot be acquired through the capital, and it can be acquired through customer satisfaction. Therefore, option D is correct.
