Presented below is selected information for Cullumber Company.

Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations. (Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.)

1. Cullumber purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,340,000 on January 1, 2018. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2028. During 2020, Cullumber determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. What amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020?

2. Cullumber bought a franchise from Alexander Co. on January 1, 2019, for $3,150,000. The carrying amount of the franchise on Alexander’s books on January 1, 2019, was $315,000. The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Cullumber must enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2021, it is unlikely that the franchise will be retained beyond 2028. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020?

Answer 1

1)
Annual Amortization = Cost of patent / remaining life of amortization
Annual Amortization = $ 13,40,000 / 10
$ 134000
At the beginning of 2020, Unamortized Anount = 13,40,000 - (1,34,000*2)
$ 10,72,000
Amortozation for 2020 will be (13,40,000/6*3)-(1,34,000*2) = $ 4,02,000
Accumulated Amortization at dec 31 2020 = (13,40,000/6*3) = $ 6,70,000
2)
Amortozation for Dec 31, 2020 = (31,50,000/10*2)-(31,50,000/30*1)
$ 5,25,000
3)
Whole organisation cost $ 2,57,500 shall be expense out during 2020 based
on its benefits also shall be recognised this year.
