Answer:
$600,000
Explanation:
Patent is an intangible non current asset that may be amortized over the estimated useful life.
Given that Alatorre purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,000,000 on January 1, 2018 and the patent had a remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2028
Annual amortization expense = $1,000,000/10 = $100,000
During 2020 ( the patent would have been amortized for 2 years), the accumulated amortization
= 2 × $100,000
= $200,000
The net book value then
= $1,000,000 - $200,000
= $800,000
If the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition, it means it has a remaining useful life of 4 year from 2020.
Amortization for 2020 = $800,000/4 = $200,000
The amount of the patent net of net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020
= $800,000 - $200,000
= $600,000
It should be $2.16 which is the 8% since even though they require 17% what is projected to be available is only 8%
