Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense the lessee should record for the first year of the lease is $108,000
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense for each year the first thing you have to do is to substruct from the initial value the fair value at the end fo the lease, obtaining this way the depreciable amount.
For this case it would be:
$810,000 - $270,000= $540,000
Then you have to divide the depreciable amount by the years of the term the lease.
$540,000/5= $108,000
Answer:
Original Cost = $26.10
Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years
Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million
Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $14.5 million
Remaining Life = 6 - 4
Remaining Life = 2 Years
New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life
New Amortization = $14.5/2
New Amortization = $7.25 million
Journal Entry
Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million
Patent Credit - $7.25 million
