Use the following structure

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Patent = 28000 / 7 years = 4000

B. Goodwill = Indefinite life, so amortization is zero

C. Leasehold improvements = Construction is done on 31 December hence no depreciation for the current year

D. Ordinary repairs and maintenance = Revenue expenditure, so no depreciation

E. Machine A = Already recorded depreciation So no additional depredation as it is sold

F. Machine B (31000 - 7000) / 15 year = 1600
