son4ous [18]

Answer:

Correct answer is (C)

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year.

Earnings per share (EPS) is the portion of profit earned by the company that is allocated to each outstanding share of its common stock. It is determined by taking the difference between a company's net income and dividends paid for preferred stock and then divided by the average number of shares outstanding. So if stock split occurred when calculating the current year EPS, the shares are treated as issued at the beginning of the year.

Lamont Communications has amortized a patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired in 2010 at a cost of $50 million. Du

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

= $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

= $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.
