What is the endorsement fee in the second year of the biennial renewal period?

• A. 110
• B. 180
• C. 20
• D. 55

Answer: (D)

In a two-year renewal cycle, fees are prorated so the second year carries a smaller amount. The endorsement fee in the second year is half of the full biennial renewal fee. If the full renewal fee is 110, the second-year endorsement fee would be 55. This setup keeps the total cost over the two-year period consistent while easing the burden for the second year. The other amounts correspond to the full renewal (110), an amount outside the typical prorated schedule (180), or an amount not used for this fee (20).
