depreciation deducted as part of research and development costs

Costs incurred internally to create intangibles are

expensed as incurred.

Under current accounting practice, intangible assets are classified as

limited-life or indefinite-life.

A company acquires a patent for a drug with a remaining legal and useful life of six years on January 1, 2005 for $1,200,000. The company uses straight-line amortization for patents. On January 2, 2007, a new patent is received for a timed-release version of the same drug. The new patent has a legal and useful life of twenty years. The least amount of amortization that could be recorded in 2007 is

$1,200,000 - [($1,200,000 ÷ 6) × 2] = $800,000. $800,000 ÷ 20 = $40,000

Malrom Manufacturing Company acquired a patent on a manufacturing process on January 1, 2006 for $10,000,000. It was expected to have a 10 year life and no residual value. Malrom uses straight-line amortization for patents. On December 31, 2007, the expected future cash flows expected from the patent were expected to be $800,000 per year for the next eight years. The present value of these cash flows, discounted at Malrom's market interest rate, is $4,800,000. At what amount should the patent be carried on the December 31, 2007 balance sheet?

$10,000,000 - [($10,000,000 ÷ 10) × 2] = $8,000,000. Since $8,000,000 > ($800,000 × 8), patent is reported at $4,800,000 (present value of cash flows.

To protect its patent, the corporation purchased on January 1, 2007 a patent on a competing product which was originally issued on January 10, 2003. Because of its unique plant, Riser Corporation does not feel the competing patent can be used in producing a product. The cost of the competing patent should be

amortized over a maximum period of 11 years

amortized over the remaining estimated life of the original patent covering the product whose market would have been impaired by competition from the newly patented product.

Easton Company and Lofton Company were combined in a purchase transaction. Easton was able to acquire Lofton at a bargain price. The sum of the market or appraised values of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of liabilities assumed exceeded the cost to Easton.

an extraordinary gain.

carrying amount and its fair value.

it is the difference between the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets as compared with the purchase price of the acquired business.

False

T/F: Amortization of limited-life intangible assets should not be impacted by expected residual values.

False

T/F: Contra accounts must be reported for intangible assets in a manner similar to accumulated depreciation and property, plant, and equipment.

False

T/F: If market value of an impaired asset recovers after an impairment has been recognized, the impairment may be reversed in a subsequent period.

False

T/F: Intangible assets derive their value from the right (claim) to receive cash in the future.

False

T/F: The cost of purchased patents should be amortized over the remaining legal life of the patent.

False

T/F: The same recoverability test that is used for impairments of property, plant, and equipment is used for impairments of indefinite-life intangibles.

False

Purchased goodwill should

not be amortized

How should research and development costs be accounted for, according to a Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement?

Must be expensed in the period incurred unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure will have alternative future uses or unless contractually reimbursable.

When a patent is amortized, the credit is usually made to

the Patent account.
