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

Answer:

The correct answer is Product Bundling.

Explanation:

The product bundling refers to a sales strategy that includes a defined number of products that are offered as one. This practice is increasingly common in companies that are trying to penetrate the market or want to exit products that are close to expiration or depreciation due to technology. The buyer sees an opportunity to purchase certain products that they could not have done when they are just in the stage of maturing sales.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $ 28,125.00

Explanation:

To value inventory, we multiply the cost per equivalent unit of production (cost per EUP) by the the number of equivalent units(EUP)  for each of the cost element.

So the value of the closing inventory, is determined as follows:

Value of inventory = cost per E.U.P × number of E.U.P

Material = $2.50 × 4,500 = 11,250.00

Labour and overhead= $3.75 × 4,500 =  16,875.00

Total amount of work in progress

= 11,250 + 16, 875

= $ 28,125.00
