- Amortization Expense 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 15-year remaining legal life was purchased for $756,000. The patent will be commercially exploitable for another six years. A patent was acquired on a device designed by a production worker. Although the cost of the patent to date consisted of $88,200 in legal fees for handling the patent application, the patent should be commercially valuable during its entire remaining legal life of 15 years and is currently worth $720,000. A franchise granting exclusive distribution rights for a new wind turbine within a three-state area for four years was obtained at a cost of $72,000. Satisfactory sales performance over the four years permits renewal of the franchise for another four years (at an additional cost determined at renewal).arrow_forwardAmortization Expense 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 15-year remaining legal life was purchased for $756,000.

The annual operating expenses will be $9000 the first year, increasing by $200 each year thereafter. The annual income is $15,000 per year. If Macoupin’s MARR is 8%, determine the net future worth of the machine purchase.arrow_forwardIn January 2014, the Jennifer Corporation purchased a patent for $231,000 from Travis Company that had a remaining legal life of 14 years.

- Your company is contemplating the purchase of a large stamping machine. The machine will cost $180,000. With additional transportation and installation costs of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $195,000. Its MV at the end of five years is estimated as $40,000. The IRS has assured you that this machine will fall under a three-year MACRS class life category. The justifications for this machine include $40,000 savings per year in labor and $30,000 savings per year in reduced materials. The before-tax MARR is 20% per year, and the effective income tax rate is 40%. Use this information to solve, Assume the stamping machine will now be used for only three years, owing to the company’s losing several government contracts. The MV at the end of year three is $50,000. What is the income tax owed at the end of year three owing to depreciation recapture (capital gain)?
