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>

Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. T
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%
