Feedback
For intangible assets with finite lives, a company uses the straight-line method to calculate amortization. If a company successfully defends a patent it becomes part of the cost of the patent. If the company loses a lawsuit regarding a patent infringement, then the patent is written off.
b. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 of Year 4 to recognize the amortization. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
