Answer:
$12,000 for 2013 and $300,000 for 2018
Explanation:
Jamison Enterprises acquired a franchise to operate a Good Burger Joint in January, 2013. The cost of the franchise was $360,000 and was estimated to have a limited life of 30 years.
Hence the yearly franchise cost at this point is 360,00 / 30 years = $12,000
Early in the year 2018, the franchise was forced out of business due to lawsuits.
At this point the company had only operated for 5 years and have incurred franchise cost to date of 5 years x $12,000 = $60,000
Jamison should record $300,000 ($360,000 - $60,000 to date) balance of the franchise cost in its expenses to their income statement for the years 2018
