Answer:

The amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Patent book value = $249,600

Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 = 8

Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 = Remaining useful years January 1, 2020 * 12 8 * 12 = 96

Monthly Patent book value = Patent book value / Remaining useful months = $249,600 = $2,600

Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = Monthly Patent book value * 12 = $2,600 * 12 = $31,200

Legal fee incurred = $93,500

Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 11

Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = Remaining useful months of the patents from January 1, 2020 - Number of months from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 = 96 - 11 = 85

Monthly legal fee = Legal fee incurred / Relevant months of legal fee incurred starting from December 1, 2020 = $93,500 / 85 = $1,100

Amount to report = Patent book value amortized from January 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020 + Monthly legal fee for December 1, 2020 only = $31,200 + $1,100 = $32,300

Therefore, the amount patent(s) should be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents, is $32,300.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

In that situation, the demand of the Milk tea will fall.

Explanation:

In businesses subtitles are the type of products that serve a similar purpose but generally less favorable. You use substitutes as a second product when you somehow cannot use the first/main product.

In the example above,

Let's say that Coffee is people's favorite beverages. They like it better than milk tea. But, if they don't have enough money to buy their favorite coffee, they sometimes have to exchange it and settle with milk tea.

When weather increases the harvest of the coffee bean crop, the price of coffee will most likely fall down due to the abundance in resource.

When this happen, there will be lesser people who use the substitute product. in the end, the demand for the milk tea will fall.
