On January 1, 2015, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $237,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company es
timates the patent will be useful for only six more years. In January 2017, the company incurred legal fees of $57,000 in successfully defending a patent infringement suit. The successful defense did not change the company's estimate of useful life. Weaver Corporation's year-end is December 31.
1. Record the purchase in 2015; amortization in 2015; amortization in 2016; legal fees in 2017; and amortization in 2017.
2. What is the balance in the Patent account at the end of 2017?

Answer:
Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>LEMONS</u>, while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of <u>COFFEE</u>. Suppose that Candonia and Lamponia specialize in the production of the goods in which each has a comparative advantage. After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of <u>36</u> million pounds of coffee and <u>36</u> million pounds of lemons.
Explanation:
Since a lot of information was missing, I looked it up and found the attached graphs. The graphs referred to production of coffee and lemons, but I guess they are similar questions.
For every pound of lemons that Candonia produces, it will not be able to produce ¹/₂ pounds of coffee (opportunity cost of producing lemons instead of coffee).
For every pound of coffee that Lamponia produces, it will not be able to produce 1¹/₂ pounds of lemons (opportunity cost of producing coffee instead of lemons).
Answer:
a-The present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.
b-The total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.
Explanation:
a-
Let the function of the revenue earned is given as
Here
- a and b are the limits of integral which are 0 and 1 respectively
- r is the rate of interest which is 5% or 0.05
- S(t) is the function of value which is
So the present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.
b-
The time in which the machine pays for itself is given as
The present value is set equal to the value of machine which is given as
$160,000 so the equation becomes:
So the total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.
