On January 1, 2021, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $210,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company es

timates the patent will be useful for only six more years. In January 2023, the company incurred legal fees of $30,000 in successfully defending a patent infringement suit. The successful defense did not change the company’s estimate of useful life. Weaver Corporation’s year-end is December 31.

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.

Marquis Company uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system.
timama [110]

Answer:

The amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale is $98.4

Explanation:

Marquis Company uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system

August 2, 22 units were purchased at $3 per unit,

Total cost = $3 x 22 = $66

Average cost per unit: $3

August 18, 27 units were purchased at $5 per unit

Total inventory = $66 + $5 x 27 = $201

Average cost per unit = $201/(22+27) = $4.1

August 29, 24 units were sold

Cost of goods sold = 24 x $4.1 = $98.4

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three​-digit pin code from a 9​-key keypad. Repetition of digits
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the pin code on the first try.

Explanation:

Simply, if the ATM card has a 3-digit code that can be repeated, and the board has 9 numbers (for example, from 1 to 9), we must start from the smallest number that could be formed with these numbers to the highest number that these numbers could also compose, which in the case would be 111 and 999. Then, 889 different numbers could be formed (it is the distance between 111 and 999), with which the possibility of hitting the key to the first attempt would be 1 in 889 times, or 1/889.

To take the probability to a percentage, we must know that 889 / 8.89 gives 100. Therefore, dividing 1 / 8.89 we will know the percentage of probabilities of hitting the key on the first attempt: 1 / 8.89 = 0.11.

This shows us that the thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the key on the first try.

Fiona, a regional sales manager, works from her office in State U. Her region includes several states, as indicated in the sales
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Payroll factor State U:

  • commissions $50,000
  • fringe benefit package $15,000

Explanation:

State           Sales Generated Fiona’s         Time Spent There

U                        $3,000,000                             20%

V                        $4,000,000                             50%

X                        $8,000,000                             30%

Sales percentage generated in state U = $3,000,000 / $15,000,000 = 20%

so 20% of the $250,000 commissions should be assigned to state U = $50,000

Time spent in state U = 20% x $75,000 fringe benefits = $15,000 assigned to state U

Using the following information, estimate Rogue Outdoors annual or monthly market demand for adult hiking shoes: Number of 18-65
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Rogue Outdoor’s break-even point in units and dollars is 720 units and $72,000 respectively.

Explanation:

In this question we use the formula of break-even point in the unit which is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $36,000 ÷ 50 per units

= 720 units

And, the formula of break-even point in dollars which is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)

where,  

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ selling price per unit) × 100

where, Contribution margin =  Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit )

= $100 - $50

= $50

So, the contribution margin ratio = 50%

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $36,000 ÷ 50%

= $72,000
