Explanation / Answer

patent A :

initial cost = 42636

life in months = 17 *12 = 204 months

total amortisation till 31 december , 2016 = 42636 * (10+12+12+12) / 204

= 42636 *46/204

= $ 9614

Patent B:

initial cost = 16080

life in months = 10*12 = 120 months

amortosation till 31 dec, 2016 = 16080 * (6+12+12) / 120

= 4020

patent c:

initial cost = 18720

life in months = 4*12 = 48 months

amortisation till 31 dec , 2016 = 18720 * (4+ 12) / 48

= $ 6240

carrying amount as on 31 december 2016

impairment loss in patent b and purchase of patent d has been taken place in 2017, so they are not considered.

patent A 42636 - 9614 33022 parent b 16080-4020 12060 patent c 18720 - 6240 12480 total $57562
