Blue Co. has a patent on a communication process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2014, when

it was acquired at a cost of $36 million at the beginning of that year. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2018 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate patent amortization expense in 2018?

Answer:

Appropriate patent amortization expense = $10 million

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Annual amortization expense = Cost ÷ Time

= $36 ÷ 9

= $4 million

Year 2018 Amortization Expense 4 Years = $4 million × 4

= $16 million

Unamortized cost = $36 million - $16 million

= $20 million

Year 2018 Amortization expense 4 years = $20 million ÷ 2

= $10 million

Whitepunk [10]

The answer to this question is life expectancy.

Life expectancy is defined as <u>the average amount of time an organism (in this case, a human being) is expected to live based on his or her demographic factors, such as age and gender.</u>

Thus, based on the conducted analysis in the question, it can be said that a divorced individual will not live as long as a married individual. However, <u>you need to remember that this is correlational research</u>, thus it cannot be said that divorce <em>causes </em>people to die earlier.

inna [77]

Answer:

None of above options are correct. 7.8% .

Explanation:

Rf = 5.5% - 1.5% = 4%

Rhri = 4% + 1.8*(10.5% - 4%) = 15.7%

Rlri = 4% + 0.6*(10.5% - 4%) = 7.9%

Difference = 15.7% - 7.9% = 7.8%

The difference (in percentage points) in the required returns for HRI and LRI is 7.8%
