Answer:
amount that should be reported for patent amortization expense for 2018 will be $90000.27
Explanation:
given data
purchased patent = $405,000
useful life = 10 years
spent = $99,000
remaining useful life = 5 years
solution
first we get here amortization from September 1, 2016 - January 1, 2018 that is
September 1 - december 31 = = 0.333333
amortization = (1 + 0.333333) × (405000 ÷ 10)
amortization = $53998.65
and
now we get remaining value before defence
remaining value = $405,000 - $53998.65
remaining value = $351001.35
and
now we get here amount to be reported for patent amortization expense for 2018
amount = ( $351001.35 + $99,000 ) ÷ 5
amount = $90000.27
so amount that should be reported for patent amortization expense for 2018 will be $90000.27
