Prepare Garfield’s journal entries for (a) the purchase of the investment, (b) the receipt of annual interest and discount amortization, and (c) the year-end fair value adjustment. (Assume a zero balance in the Fair Value Adjustment account.) The bonds have a year-end fair value of $75,500.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Fields assumed a useful life of 17 years when it received the initial precipitator patent. On January 1, 2016, it revised its useful life estimate downward to 5 remaining years. Amortization is computed for a full year if the cost is incurred prior to July 1, and no amortization for the year if the cost is incurred after June 30. The company’s year ends December 31.

Instructions

Compute the carrying value of patent No. 758-6002-1A on each of the following dates:

(a) December 31, 2011.

(b) December 31, 2015.

(c) December 31, 2018.

Instructions

Prepare the July 1 entry for Brigham Corporation to record the purchase.

Prepare the December 31 entry for Brigham Corporation to record amortization of intangibles. The trademark has an estimated useful life of 4 years with a residual value of \)3,000.

Question: (Accounting for Patents) During 2013, Winston Corporation spent \(170,000 in research and development costs. As a result, a new product called the New Age Piano was patented. The patent was obtained on October 1, 2013, and had a legal life of 20 years and a useful life of 10 years. Legal costs of \)18,000 related to the patent were incurred as of October 1, 2013.

Instructions

(a) Prepare all journal entries required in 2013 and 2014 as a result of the transactions above.

(b) On June 1, 2015, Winston spent $9,480 to successfully prosecute a patent infringement suit. As a result, the estimate of useful life was extended to 12 years from June 1, 2015. Prepare all journal entries required in 2015 and 2016.

(c) In 2017, Winston determined that a competitor’s product would make the New Age Piano obsolete and the patent worthless by December 31, 2018. Prepare all journal entries required in 2017 and 2018.

(Comprehensive Intangible Assets) Montana Matt’s Golf Inc. was formed on July 1, 2016, when Matt Magilke purchased the Old Master Golf Company. Old Master provides video golf instruction at kiosks in shopping malls. Magik plans to integrate the instructional business into his golf equipment and accessory stores. Magik paid \(770,000 cash for Old Master. At the time, Old Master’s balance sheet reported assets of \)650,000 and liabilities of \(200,000 (thus owners’ equity was \)450,000). The fair value of Old Master’s assets is estimated to be \(800,000. Included in the assets is the Old Master trade name with a fair value of \)10,000 and copyright on some instructional books with a fair value of \(24,000. The trade name has a remaining life of 5 years and can be renewed at nominal cost indefinitely. The copyright has a remaining life of 40 years.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the intangible assets section of Montana Matt’s Golf Inc. on December 31, 2016. How much amortization expense is included in Montana Matt’s income for the year ended December 31, 2016? Show all supporting computations.
  2. Prepare the journal entry to record amortization expenses for 2017. Prepare the intangible assets section of Montana Matt’s Golf Inc. on December 31, 2017. (No impairments are required to be recorded in 2017.)
  3. At the end of 2018, Magilke is evaluating the results of the instructional business. Due to fierce competition from online and television (e.g., the Golf Channel), the Old Master reporting unit has been losing money. Its book value is now \)500,000. The fair value of the Old Master reporting unit is \(420,000. The implied value of goodwill is \)90,000. Magik has collected the following information related to the company’s intangible assets.
