A parent company acquired 100 percent of the stock of a subsidiary company on January 1, 2013, for $800,000. On this date, the balances of the subsidiary’s stockholders’ equity accounts were Common Stock, $50,000, Additional Paid-in Capital, $55,000, and Retained Earnings, $195,000. On the acquisition date, the excess was assigned to the following AAP assets:

Original Amount Original Useful Life
Property, plant & equipment 300,000 10 years
Customer list 200,000 8 years
Royalty agreement 180,000 8 years
Goodwill 120,000 Indefinite

The Goodwill asset has been tested annually for impairment, and has not been found to be impaired.

Assume that the parent company sells inventory to its wholly owned subsidiary. The subsidiary, ultimately, sells the inventory to customers outside of the consolidated group. You have compiled the following data for the years ending 2015 and 2016:

Wember Company acquired a subsidiary company on December 31, 2012, and recorded the cost of the intangible assets it acquired as follows:

Patent $100,000
Trade name 80,000
Goodwill 150,000

The patent is being amortized by the straight-line method over an expected life of 10 years with no residual value. Amortization has been recorded for the current year. The trade name was considered to have an indefinite life.

Because of the success of the subsidiary in the past, Wember has not previously considered any of the intangible assets to be impaired. However, in 2016, because of a current recession and technological changes in the subsidiary’s industry, Wember decides to review all of its intangible assets for impairment and record any adjustments at December 31, 2016.

Wember estimates that the fair value of the patent is $42,000. The company estimates the fair value of the trade name to be $90,000 but decides that it now has a limited life of 5 years. The subsidiary company, which qualifies as a reporting unit, has a book value of $700,000, including the goodwill of $150,000. Wember estimates that the fair value of the subsidiary company is $400,000, of which it allocates 80% to the identifiable assets and liabilities.

Required:

1. Prepare journal entries for Wember to record the impairment of its intangible assets at December 31, 2016.
2. Prepare journal entries for Wember to record the amortization expense for its intangibles at December 31, 2017.

Monty Corp. had the following long-term receivable account balances at December 31, 2019.

Notes receivable $2,000,000
Notes receivable - Employees 350,000


Transactions during 2020 and other information relating to Monty' long-term receivables were as follows:

1. The $2,000,000 note receivable is dated May 1, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and represents the balance of the consideration received from the sale of Monty's electronics division to Sandhill Company. Principal payments of $666,667 plus appropriate interest are due on May 1, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The first principal and interest payment was made on May 1, 2020. Collection of the note instalments is reasonably assured.
2. The $350,000 note receivable is dated December 31, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and is due on December 31, 2022. The note is due from Marcia Cumby, president of Monty Corp., and is secured by 10,000 Monty common shares. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and the interest payment was made on December 31, 2020. The quoted market price of Monty's common shares was $50 per share on December 31, 2020.
3. On April 1, 2020, Monty sold a patent to Carla Vista Company in exchange for a $200,000 non–interest-bearing note due on April 1, 2022. There was no established exchange price for the patent, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at April 1, 2020, was 10%. The present value of $1 for two periods at 10% is 0.82645 (use this factor). The patent had a carrying amount of $43,000 at January 1, 2020, and the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020 would have been $7,000. The collection of the note receivable from Carla Vista is reasonably assured.
4. On July 1, 2020, Monty sold a parcel of land to Teal Mountain Inc. for $220,000 under an instalment sale contract. Teal Mountain made a $54,000 cash down payment on July 1, 2020, and signed a four-year, 11% note for the $166,000 balance. The equal annual payments of principal and interest on the note will be $53,506, payable on July 1, 2021, through July 1, 2024. The land could have been sold at an established cash price of $210,000. Monty had paid $140,000 for the land when it purchased it. Collection of the instalments on the note is reasonably assured.
5. On August 1, 2020, Monty agreed to allow its customer, Saini Inc., to substitute a six-month note for accounts receivable of $210,000 it owed. The note bears interest at 6% and principal and interest are due on the note’s maturity date.
