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>

Presented below is information related to Splish Company. Cost Retail Beginning inventory $362,797 $286,000 Purchases 1,370,000
KiRa [710]

Answer:

$200,455

Explanation:

For calculating the inventory by the conventional retail inventory method. we required to do the following computations which are shown below:

Using cost method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases

= $362,797 + $1,370,000

= $1,732,797

Using retail method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases  + Net markups - Net markdowns

= $286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300 - $27,800

= $2,483,500

Now

Cost to retail ratio = $1,732,797 ÷ ($286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300)

                             = $1,732,797 ÷ $2,511,300

                             = 0.69

Now

Estimated ending inventory at retail

= Goods available for sale under Retail method - Sales revenue

= $2,483,500 - $2,193,000

= $290,500

So,

Estimated ending inventory at cost:

= Estimated ending inventory at retail × Cost to retail ratio

= $290,500 × 0.69

= $200,455

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: $2,398.55

Explanation:

The deposit at the end of year one would have been compounded by 2 years at the end of year 3. The second year deposit would have compounded by 1 year and the third year deposit would not have compounded at all.

The future value at the end of 3 years is;

= (500 * ( 1 + 11%)²) + (750 * ( 1 + 11%)) + 950

= $2,398.55
