In 1975, a trial was held to settle a tax dispute between the owners of the Atlanta Falcons, a National Football League franchise, and the Internal Revenue Service. In 1966, the owners had paid $8.5 million to purchase the franchise. They considered $50,000 to be the cost of the franchise (which is not depreciable for income tax reporting), $727,000 was deferred interest, and the remaining $7.7 million was claimed to be the cost of the players’ contracts and options. The dispute centered on several variables:
• How much of the purchase price was assign-able to television rights?
• Can the value assignable to television rights be amortized? If so, what is the expected life?

• Over what life should the value assigned to the players be amortized?
• What is the value of the franchise?
