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

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Part A. $1200

Part B. $1200  

Explanation:

Part A.

Under MACRS rules, the depreciation rate for the 5 year recovery period asset would be:

Year 1    20%

Year 2   32%

Year 3   19.2%

Year 4   11.52%

Year 5   11.52%

Year 6   5.76%

This means that the first year MACRS depreciation deduction would be 20% which is $1200 ($6000 * 20%).

Part B.

If Sid does not elect Section 179 expensing then the depreciation would be calculated using straight line basis.

The depreciation would be:

Depreciaiton Expense = $6000 / 5 Years life   = $1200
