For each of the following unrelated situations, calculate the annual amortization expense and prepare a journal entry to record

the expense: A patent with a 10-year remaining legal life was purchased for $350,000. The patent will be commercially exploitable for another eight years. A patent was acquired on a device designed by a production worker. Although the cost of the patent to date consisted of $52,300 in legal fees for handling the patent application, the patent should be commercially valuable during its entire remaining legal life of 10 years and is currently worth $400,000. A franchise granting exclusive distribution rights for a new solar water heater within a three-state area for five years was obtained at a cost of $70,000. Satisfactory sales performance over the five years permits renewal of the franchise for another three years (at an additional cost determined at renewal).

Answer:

(a) Debit Amortization expense - Patents for $43,750; and Credit Patents for $43,750.

(b) Debit Amortization expense - Patents for $5,230; and Credit Patents for $5,230.

(c) Debit Amortization expense - Franchise for $14,000; and Credit Franchises for $14,000.

Explanation:

(a) A patent with a 10-year remaining legal life was purchased for $350,000. The patent will be commercially exploitable for another eight years.

Annual amortization expenses = Purchase cost of the patent / Number of commercially exploitable years = $350,000 / 8 = $43,750

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

General Journal

<u>Description                                             Debit ($)            Credit ($)    </u>

Amortization expense - Patents             43,750

Patents                                                                                43,750

<u><em>(To record patent amortization.)                                                           </em></u>

(b) A patent was acquired on a device designed by a production worker. Although the cost of the patent to date consisted of $52,300 in legal fees for handling the patent application, the patent should be commercially valuable during its entire remaining legal life of 10 years and is currently worth $400,000.

Annual amortization expenses = Legal fees / Remaining legal life = $52,300 / 10 = $5,230

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

General Journal

<u>Description                                             Debit ($)            Credit ($)    </u>

Amortization expense - Patents             5,230

Patents                                                                                 5,230

<u><em>(To record patent amortization.)                                                           </em></u>

(c) A franchise granting exclusive distribution rights for a new solar water heater within a three-state area for five years was obtained at a cost of $70,000. Satisfactory sales performance over the five years permits renewal of the franchise for another three years (at an additional cost determined at renewal).

Annual amortization expenses = Cost of acquiring the franchise / Number of years acquired = $70,000 / 5 = $14,000

Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:

General Journal

<u>Description                                             Debit ($)            Credit ($)    </u>

Amortization expense - franchise           14,000

franchise                                                                               14,000

<u><em>(To record franchise amortization.)                                                           </em></u>

Igoryamba

Answer:

$300

Explanation:

Deductible referred to as the amount paid from one's pocket to join the amount of one's loss, while the insurance company balance up the remaining.

The loss which is $800 is a little bit more than deductibles.

Damage=$800

Deductibles=$500

The damages is just $300 more than deductibles.

As stated in the question there is a collision and comprehensive insurance for the driver , therefore the driver will pay $500 from his own pocket.

THE PORTION OF CLAIM THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAY =($800-$500)=$300

$300 will only be received from the company.

In Higher deductibles the premium insurance is reduced in cost.

In lower deductibles there is higher premium but with the cost from one's pocket is low.

Deductible has influence on

one's claim.
