DMH Industries Limited purchased a strip mine for cash on April 1, 2023 at a cost of $5,787,000. DMH expects to operate the mine for 10 years, at which it is legally required to restore the surrounding area to its original state. It is estimated that it will cost $477,000 to do this at the end of the mine's useful life. The company's year-end is December 31, and DMH follows ASPE.

Conrad Inc. purchased a patent for $1,000,000 for a specialty line of patented switch plate covers and outlet plate covers specifically designed to light up automatically when the power fails. Assume the switch plate patent was purchased January 1, 2020, and it is being depreciated over a period of ten years. Assume that Conrad Inc. does not use an accumulated amortization account but instead charges amortization directly against the intangible asset account. 3. After a year of unsuccessful attempts to manufacture the switch plate covers, Conrad Inc. determined the patent was significantly impaired and its book value on January 1, 2020, was written off.
