Adelphi Company expects to use the patent for 5 years after which time it will be worthless. How much is the annual amortization expense for 2019? Round to nearest whole dollar.

Answer 1

Part 6

Annual depreciation = cost – salvage value / estimated life = (25000-2000)/5 = $4600 per year

Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 2018 = 4600*4 = $18400

Book value on December 31, 2018 = cost – accumulated depreciation = 25000-18400 = $6600

Loss on sale of machine = book value – selling price = 6600-3000 = $3600

Part 7

Depletion per unit = (cost – salvage value)/estimated output = (900000-150000)/2000000 = 0.375 per unit

Amount of depletion = depletion per unit * amount of ore extracted = 0.375*125000 = $46875

Part 8

annual amortization expense for 2019 = (cost of patent + legal fees)/useful life = (220000+9000)/5 = $45800
