Envision an algorithm that when given any positive integer n, it will print out the sum of the squares from 1 to n.

E.g. given 4 the algorithm would print 30 (because 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 = 30) You can use multiplication denoted as * in your solution and you do not have to define it (e.g. 2*2=4)

Write pseudocode for this algorithm using iteration (looping).

1. Depreciation by Three Methods; Partial Years

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $21,330. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 3,780 operating hours, and a residual value of $540. The equipment was used for 700 hours during Year 1, 1,300 hours in Year 2, 1,100 hours in Year 3, and 680 hours in Year 4.

Required:

Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.

a. Straight-line method

b. Units-of-activity method

c. Double-declining-balance method

2. Amortization Entries

Kleen Company acquired patent rights on January 10 of Year 1 for $464,000. The patent has a useful life equal to its legal life of eight years. On January 7 of Year 4, Kleen successfully defended the patent in a lawsuit at a cost of $23,000.

If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

a. Determine the patent amortization expense for Year 4 ended December 31.
$fill in the blank 98a34205207505f_1

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.
