Explanation / Answer

1. Solution :

Patent : An intangible Asset

Recognition of Patents in the books of Hogan Co. :

1. A purchased patent is recognised at the fair value of consideration paid.

2. An internally developed patent is capitalised only to the extent of fees paid to defend a successful patent . Research and development costs of developing this invention are expensed out to the income statement.

Hence the amount capitalised is $300,000 and would be amortized over the useful life of 10 years.

Amount of amortization on 12/31/2016 in the income statement would be $30,000. (300,000/10 per year).

Amount of Patents on 12/31/2016 on balance sheet would be $150,000. ( after completing 5 years of amortization i.e. 30,000*5 on the total purchase cost)
