Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization =  $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

                    Journal Entry

Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

      Patent Credit -  $7.25 million

creativ13 [48]

Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Explanation:

The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:

= 79,000 - 69,000

= $10,000

Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.

The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:

= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead

= 243,000 + 10,000

= $253,000
