Carter Company has provided information on intangible assets as follows.
A patent was purchased from Ford Company for $2,000,000 on January 1, 2016. Carter estimated the
remaining useful life of the patent to be 10 years. The patent was carried in Ford’s accounting records
at a net book value of $2,000,000 when Ford sold it to Carter.
During 2017, a franchise was purchased from Polo Company for $480,000. In addition, 5% of revenue
from the franchise must be paid to Polo. Revenue from the franchise for 2017 was $2,500,000. Carter
estimates the useful life of the franchise to be 10 years and takes a full year’s amortization in the year
of purchase.
$433,000
Carter estimates that these costs will be recouped by December 31, 2020. The materials and
equipment purchased have no alternative uses.
On January 1, 2017, because of recent events in the field, Carter estimates that the remaining life of
the patent purchased on January 1, 2016, is only 5 years from January 1, 2017.
