Answer 1

1a)

Patent purchased on January 1, 2021 = $35,000

Expected useful life of patent = 5 years

Residual value = $0

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 = 35000/5 = $7,000

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 =$7,000

1b)

Equipment purchased on January 1, 2021 = $75,500

Expected useful life of patent = 10 years

Residual value = $6,750

Double Declining Balance Method: Book value at the beginning * (2*100% / Useful Life of Asset in years)

Depreciation expense for 2021 = [$75,500 (2*100% /10)] = $15,100

Depreciation expense for 2022 = (75500-15100) * 20% = $12,080

1c)

Equipment purchased on January 1, 2021 = $76,500

Expected useful life of patent = 10 years

Residual value = $6,600

Double Declining Balance Method: Book value at the beginning * (2*100% / Useful Life of Asset in years)

Depreciation expense for 2021 = [$76,500 (2*100% /10)] = $15,300

Depreciation expense for 2022 = (75500-15100) * 20% = $12,240

Book value at December 31, 2022 = 75500-15100-12240 = $48,960

1d)

Interest expense at Dec 31, 2021 = [($206,000 × 12%) × 2/12] = $4,120.

1e)

Interest expense at Dec 31, 2021 = [($210,000 × 6%) × 4/12] = $4,200.
