Yeah, they could try writing them off at full RRP against profit. No idea if that’s allowed given the value of those disc must be in the pennies by now (they probably won’t even take them at the second hand shop), but since when has that stopped an honest corporation from trying…
I mean, can’t you write off the purchase cost as soon as you get the asset on the books? Maybe gradually over a 5 year period or whatever. I’d be surprised if they haven’t done that yet.

they’ll write off what they paid, not what they can sell the discs for now
