Answer:
The APY is 14.9%
Explanation:
To find the annual percentage yield we need to compute the effective annual rate of interest.
The Effective annual rate of return(EAR) is the equivalent rate to be paid where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
Compounding implies the regular interval when interest is always computed; in this scenario, it is monthly.
The EAR can be worked out as follows
EAR = ( (1+r)^m - 1 ) × 100
r- interest rate per period
m- number of periods in a year
EAR - Effective annual rate
r = 3.5%/3 = 1.167
% per month
m= number of months in a year = 12
EAR =( 1.01167^12-1)× 100 = 14.9%
The APY is 14.9%
This implies the quoted interest rate of 3.5% per quarter is the same as paying 14.9% per year
Answer:
Journal Entry
Dr. Contingent Consideration Liability $500,000
Cr. Goodwill $500,000
Explanation:
It is assumed that the decline in the fair value is the correction of the acquisition entry. It means due to this event the consideration liability and goodwill are overstated we need to rectify the balances.
Hence,
The contingent consideration liability will be debited to reduce the liability and goodwill will also be decreased by crediting the goodwill account.
Answer:
Appropriate patent amortization expense = $10 million
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Annual amortization expense = Cost ÷ Time
= $36 ÷ 9
= $4 million
Year 2018 Amortization Expense 4 Years = $4 million × 4
= $16 million
Unamortized cost = $36 million - $16 million
= $20 million
Year 2018 Amortization expense 4 years = $20 million ÷ 2
= $10 million
