For intangible assets, amortization is the decrease in book value over the period of time. However intangible assets have no physical appearance and they do not face any damage like fixed assets but with the passage of time their value decrease.

Calculating amortization expense for one year:

Amortization expense=\frac{Purchase\ Price+Legal\ Fees}{Useful\ Life}

Amortization\ expense=\frac{\$38,500+\$2000}{6}\\ Amortization\ expense=\$6,750

General Journal entry:

Account                                     Debit                             Credit

Amortization expense              $6,750

Accumulated Amortization                                              $6,750

<em>18.289,26‬</em>

<em>As we given an option with two decimals which are different from the calculated amount we should take it as incorrect. </em>

otez555 [7]

Answer:

$635,000 and : 34%

Explanation:

Margins of safety is the difference between expected sales and the break-even point.

For Zhao, expected sales are 10,000 units

The break-even points in units = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

fixed costs = $429,000

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs per unit

=$187 -  $122

=$65

break-even point in units = $429,000/$65

break-even point = 6600 units

Margin of safety = 10,000 - 6600 units

=3400 units

In dollars is equal to margin of safety in units x selling price

=3400 x 187

<u>=$635,000</u>

as a percent of expected sales.

=3400/10000 x 100

=0.34 x 10,000

=34%
