Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021    Patent Rights (Debit)                    210,000

                                  Cash/Bank (Credit)                            210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023     Legal fees                                      30,000

                                    Cash/Bank                                          30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.

ou are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $890 per month in a stock account and
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Stock:

Monthly deposit= $890

Number of periods= 30*12= 360

Interest rate= 0.109 / 12= 0.0091

Bond:

Monthly deposit= $490

Number of periods= 30*12= 360

Interest rate= 0.069 / 12= 0.00575

<u>First, we need to calculate the amount of money collected at the moment of retirement. We need to use the following formula on each investment:</u>

<u />

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Stock:

FV= {890*[(1.0091^360) - 1]} / 0.0091

FV= $2,452,918.1

Bond:

FV= {490*[(1.00575^360) - 1]} / 0.00575

FV= $586,123.47

Total FV= 2,452,918.1 + 586,123.47

Total FV= $3,039,041.57

<u>Now, the monthly withdrawal for 25 years:</u>

<u />

Number of periods= 25*12= 300

Interest rate= 0.079 / 12= 0.0066

Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]

Monthly withdraw= (3,039,041.57*0.0066) / [1 - (1.0066^-300)]

Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99
