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.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

2.072 rights

Explanation:

Amount needed to buy the land = $8.6 million = $8,600,000

stock outstanding = 540,000

Market price per share = $34.80

subscription price = $33 a share

Now,

Number shares to be issued = ( Amount needed ) ÷ ( subscription price )

= $8,600,000 ÷ $33

= 260606.06 shares

1 rights will be issued per stock

thus,

number of rights required for purchase

= ( stock outstanding ) ÷ ( Number shares to be issued  )

= 540,000 ÷ 260606.06

= 2.072 rights
