Explanation:

The journal entry is as follows

Amortization expense Dr $2.5 million

         To Patent $2.5 million

(Being the amortization expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

The annual amortization is

= $9 million ÷ 9 years

= $1 million

So, the amortization for four years from 2017 to 2021 is $4 million

Now the unamortized value is

= $9 million - $4 million

= $5 million

And, the remaining life is 2 years (6 years - 4 years)

So, the amortization expense is

= $5 million ÷ 2 years

= $2.5 million

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: $19000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Vaughn Manufacturing's allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190000 at the end of 2020 and $178000 at the end of 2019 and that for the year ended December 31, 2020, Vaughn reported bad debt expense of $31000 in its income statement.

The amount that Vaughn debited to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts will be:

= $31000 - ($190000 - $178000)

= $31000 - $12000

= $19000

Schach [20]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000
