Blue Co. has a patent on a communication process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2017, when

it was acquired at a cost of $42 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 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate patent amortization expense in 2021?

Answer:

11.66 million

Explanation:

Annual Amortization Expense:

= Cost of acquiring at the beginning of the year ÷ 9-year life

= $42 million ÷ 9

= $4.67 million per year

Year 2021 Amortization Expense 4 Years:  

= Annual Amortization Expense × 4

= $4.67 per year × 4 years

= $18.68 million

Unamortized Cost:

= Cost of acquiring at the beginning of the year - Amortization Expense 4 Years

= $42 million - $18.68 million

= $23.32 million

Patent amortization expense in 2021:

= Unamortized Cost ÷ 2

= $23.32 ÷ 2

= 11.66 million

A company has beginning inventory of 40 units at a cost of $12.50 each on October 1. On October 5, it purchases 26 units at $13.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Ending inventory as at Oct 15 : $348

Explanation:

The FIFO (First-In-First-Out) method of inventory valuation is whereby the stock that enters first into inventory is the one that is sold or used first. In other words, the oldest stock is used first. This is common for inventory consisting of perishables such as vegetables, which will be wasted if not used soon.

Oct 1 : Beginning inventory : 40 units x $12.50 = $500

Oct 5 : Purchases : 26 units x $13.50 = $351

Oct 12 : 36 units x $14.50 = $522

Oct 15 : Sales : 78 units. This consists of:

40 units x $12.50 = $500

26 units x $13.50 = $351

12 units x $14.50 = $174

Hence, Cost of Goods sold is : $500 + $351 + $174 = $1025

Ending inventory is (36-12) x $14.50 = $348
