Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $18.90 million cost

of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. 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 2021.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.

Answer:

The appropiate Journal Entry would be the following:

Amortization Expense Dr. $5.25  million

                                     Patent Cr. $5.25 million

Explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

Original Cost of patent = $18.90 million

Hence, Annual Amortization (Old) = 18.90/9 = $2.1 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = 2.1*4 = $8.4 million

Hence, Unamortized Value = 18.90 - 8.4 =$ 10.5 million

Also, Remaining Life = 6 - 4 = 2 Years

Therefore, The New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life = 10.5/2 = $5.25 million

The appropiate Journal Entry would be the following:

Amortization Expense Dr. $5.25  million

                                     Patent Cr. $5.25 million

Cold Duck Airlines flies between Tacoma and Portland. The company leases planes on a year-long contract at a cost that averages
Korvikt [17]

Answer:The Firm should continue to produce up until Revenue generated equals Marginal Cost. Cold Duck Company would maximize profit when the number of flights is in a level when Revenue equals Marginal cost which is the same as variable costs in this case.

Explanation:

Cold duck Airlines leases plane on a year long contract at an average cost of $600 per flight.The average cost of $600 per flight is calculated as Lease cost per year divided by number of flights. This tells us that the lease cost per year is fixed and the $600 average  cost per flight is the Average Fixed cost. if Cold duck flies more planes between Tacoma and Portland The number flights will increase which will decrease the average lease cost per flight.

Other Costs fuel (flight attendants,etc) amount to $550 per flight, these costs will increase as Cold Duck Airlines increases flights between Tacoma and Portland. These costs should be treated as Variable costs because they increase as the number flights increases.

The revenue generated on each flight, which can be seen as the price for each flight is $1000.

The Firm maximizes its profits in a competitive market by producing a quantity level That makes Price equals Marginal cost, Marginal cost being the price of producing an additional unit, in this case is the cost of an additional flight which is $550 amount of other costs  because lease cost fixed  whether Cold Duck Makes 1 flight or 10 flights it doesnot change

The Firm should continue to produce up until Revenue generated equals Marginal Cost. Cold Duck Company would maximize profit when the number of flights is in a level when Revenue equals Marginal cost which is the same as variable costs in this case. Revenue would be equal to $550 when profit is at the maximum level
