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.

Answer and explanation:

As their name describes, <em>nonprofit entities</em> are organizations whose main plan is not to have revenues out of their operations. They usually provide social services to different sectors of the population and can handle their operations mainly thanks to charity and donations. While making their budgets, these organizations cannot estimate their revenues since they cannot take donations for granted. Instead, they estimate their expenses since they will be incurred for sure.
