Question

Bluestone Company had three intangible assets at the end of the current year:

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1) Calculation of the acquisition cost is

Patent = $4,000

Trademark = $210,000 + $8,500 = $218,500

Licensing Rights = $80,000

2) Computation the amortization expense is  

Patent = $4,000 ÷ 10 = $400

Trademark = $218,500 ÷ 10 = $21,850

Here we assume the indefinite life of 10 years  

Licensing Rights = $80,000 ÷ 5 = $16,000

3)

Income statement:

Amortization expense  $38,250 ($400 + $21,850 + $16,000)
