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
Answer: $124800
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the ammortization expense which will be:
= $468000 / 10
= $46800
May 2019 = ($46800 × 8/12)
= $31200
December 2020 = $46800
December 2021 = $46800
Ammortization expense will now be:
= $31200 + $46800 + $46800
= $124800
