**Patent Amortization and Financial Reporting Guide**The Randolph Company acquired a patent on June 1, 2016, at a cost of $1,188,000. Although the patent's legal life is twelve years, its useful economic life is considered to be only nine years. This guide explores key questions regarding the amortization and financial implications of this patent.**A. Amortization Expense for 2016 & 2017:**To calculate the annual amortization expense, the cost of the patent is divided by its useful economic life:\[ \text{Annual Amortization} = \frac{\$1,188,000}{9} = \$132,000 \]For 2016, the amortization period covers seven months (June to December):\[ \text{2016 Amortization} = \frac{7}{12} \times \$132,000 = \$77,000 \]For 2017, a full year of amortization is recognized:\[ \text{2017 Amortization} = \$132,000 \]**B. Balance Sheet Presentation on 9/30/2019:**The patent is presented on the balance sheet at its net book value, calculated as the initial cost minus accumulated amortization to date. As a note, accumulated amortization is not typically listed separately for intangible assets.**C. Estimated Value of the Patent on 3/31/2017:**As of March 31, 2017, the net book value of the patent is:\[\text{Net Book Value} = \$1,188,000 - (\text{Amortization for 10 months})\]\[ = \$1,188,000 - \left( \frac{10}{12} \times \$132,000 \right) = \$1,078,000 \]**D. Calculation of Gain or Loss if Patent is Sold on 8/31/21 for $300,000:**At the time of sale, the accumulated amortization must first be computed, followed by determining the book value and thus understanding gain or loss:1. **Calculate Accumulated Amortization:** By 8/31/2021, \[ \text{Total Amortization} = 5 \, \text{years of full amortization + 4 months} \] \[ = (5 \times \$

The following information is available about Company DEF's depreciable assets on January 1, 2019 (numbers are in € millions): Original Cost € 50,000 Depreciable Base € 47,500 Accumulated Depreciation (1/1/2019) € 28,500 Depreciable Life 10 years An analyst believes that the above described estimates do not reflect the underlying economic depreciation of Company DEF's assets. As a result, the analyst wants to adjust Company DEF's financial statements based on his own estimates. While the analyst assumes that the residual value assumption of Company DEF is correct, the analyst adjusts the depreciable life of the asset. In adjusting the financial statements of Company DEF, the analyst decreases the 1/1/2019 accumulated depreciation by €10687.5. What is the depreciable life (in years) that the analyst uses in adjusting Company DEF's financial statements?
