Answer:

A Recession happened.

When the market sees a recession we see an increase in the unemployment rate due to cyclical unemployment whenever there in a business cycle even though the labor force was constant but in a recession companies face a lot of costs which become higher than their revenue so for example when there is a recession the cost of producing 1 more unit is actually higher than the revenue a firm gets from producing that 1 unit because marginal cost increases at a decreasing rate so they have to lay off people at a firm on that unit of production to maximize revenues.

Lamont Communications has amortized a patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired in 2010 at a cost of $50 million. Du

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

= $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

= $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.
