Let's break down the scenario:
- Mike was **hired** to write the book (a "work for hire" situation).
- He completed the book in **2010**.
- He signed over copyright to the publisher.
- The book was **published in 2013**.
**U.S. Copyright Law for Works Made for Hire:**
- The copyright lasts **95 years from the year of publication**, or **120 years from the year of creation**, whichever is shorter.
**Calculation:**
- 95 years from publication (2013):
2013 + 95 = **2108**
- 120 years from creation (2010):
2010 + 120 = **2130**
The **shorter period** is 95 years from publication, so the copyright expires in **2108**.
**Correct answer:**
> **2108**
