Explanation / Answer

23) Monthly depreciation using straight line = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful life in Months

= ($148,000 - $4,000)/(10 yrs*12 months)

= $144,000/120 months = $1,200 per month

Total Months machine used = from Nov 2009 to June 2018

= 104 months

Total depreciation charged upto date of sale = $1,200*104 months = $124,800

Book Value on the date of sale = Cost - Depreciation charged

= $148,000 - $124,800 = $23,200

Loss on sale of Machine = Book value of Machine - Sale Value

= $23,200 - $13,000 = $10,200

Therefore the correct answer is a) $10,200.

24) Amortization exp. for first four yrs (from 2014 to 2017) = Cost/Useful life

= $600,000/16 yrs = $37,500 per year

Book value as on Jan 1, 2018 = Cost - Amortization exp. upto this date

= $600,000 - ($37,500*4 yrs)

= $600,000 - $150,000 = $450,000

New Capital expenditure for Patent = $90,000

Amortization expense for 2018 = (Book Value as on Jan 1, 2018+Capital exp)/Remaining useful life

= ($450,000+$90,000)/12 yrs = $45,000

Therefore the correct answer is c) $45,000.

25) As the exchange lacks commercial substance, Madison should record the new equipment at its fair market value. The fair market value of the new equipment is $14,500. Therefore the correct answer is a) $14,500.

26) Legal fees incurred in successfully defending a patent suit should be capitalized whether the patent is internally developed or purchased from an inventor. Under self created patents, if the defense of the patent is successful the cost related should be capitalized but if defense of the patent is unsuccessful, legal costs of defense are expensed.

In the given case, the defense of the patent is successful hence legal fees should be capitalized.

Therefore the correct answer is b) Internally developed Yes Purchased from an Inventor Yes.
