Blue Co. has a patent on a communication process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2014, when

it was acquired at a cost of $52 million at the beginning of that year. 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 2018 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate patent amortization expense in 2018? (Do not round your intermediate calculation.)

Answer:

$14.44 million

Explanation:

The computation of Amortization Expense 4 Years is shown below:-

Annual Amortization Expense = Beginning cost ÷ Life year

= $52 million ÷ 9

= $5.78 million

Amortization Expense 4 Years = Annual Amortization Expense × 4 years

= $5.78 million × 4

= $23.12 million

So,

Unamortized Cost = Beginning cost -  Amortization Expense 4 Years

= $52 million - $23.12 million

= $28.88 million

Year 2018 Amortization Expense 4 Years = Unamortized Cost ÷ Estimated remaining life

= $28.88 million ÷ 2

= $14.44 million

So, for computing the Amortization Expense 4 Years we simply applied the above formula.

Andre45 [30]

Economists ask the process of proactive consumers choosing to either exit from a sale or to voice their dissatisfaction with a product as-----expressing disapproval.

What does one mean by customer dissatisfaction?

Customer dissatisfaction is the antithesis of customer satisfaction. It happens when customer expectations aren't only not meant, but also when the corporate fails to do anything about the complaint.

for instance , 74 percent of consumers say they will forgive a company for its mistake after receiving excellent service.

<h3>Why is customer satisfaction important?</h3>

motikmotik

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $410,000

Costs = $284,000

Depreciation Expense =  $510,000 × 0.1920]

                                     = $97,920

Therefore,

Operating Cash Flow:

= [(Sales - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs) × (1 - Tax Rate)] + [Depreciation × Tax Rate]

= [($410,000 - 284,000) × (1 - 0.35)] + [$97,920 × 0.35]

= [$126,000 × 0.65] + [$97,920 × 0.35]

= $81,900 + $34,272

= $1,16,172
