Respuesta :

Answer:

$22,500

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Purchase value of the patent = $175,000

Legal fees = $5,000

The Remaining life of the patent = 13 years

Expected using life of the patent = 8 years

So by considering the above information, the annual amortization expense for 2019 is

= (Purchase value of the patent + Legal fees incurred) ÷ (Expected using life of the patent)

= ($175,000 + $5,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $22,500
