Required:
A. Timber rights on a tract of land were purchased for $1,762,820 on February 22. The stand of timber is estimated at 4,639,000 board feet. During the current year, 1,068,200 board feet of timber were cut and sold. B. On December 31, the company determined that $4,015,000 of goodwill was impaired. C. Governmental and legal costs of $6,846,000 were incurred on April 3 in obtaining a patent with an estimated economic life of 10 years. Amortization is to be for three-fourths of a year.Explanation / Answer
a) depletion on timber is calculated by finding proportionate amount spent on timber sold
= Amount paid x Board feet of timber sold / board feet of timber purchased
= 1762820 x 1068200 / 4639000
= 405916
b) Impairment of Goodwill = 4015000
c) Amortization of Governmental and legal costs
= amount spent / life of patent x 3/ 4 year
= 6846000 / 10 x 3/4 year
= 513450
