Answers:

a. Acquisition of cost of corporation =         $2,420,000

Less: Fair value of net identifiable assets = $2,050,000

Cost of good will =                                          $370,000

Note: Goods will is not amortized

b. Cost of patent purchase = $91,200

Legal life = 13 years

Estimated useful life= 8 years

Ammortization = Cost / Estimated useful life

= $91,200/8 years

=$11,400

Ammortization per annum is $11,400

Patent is purchased on 30/6/2021

Calculation of amortization for 6 months periods

Amortization for 6 months (July-December)= $11,400 * 6/12

=$5,700

Note: Amortization should be amortized on basis of their amortized value that is, 8 years.

c. Calculation of amortization cost for franchise

Cost = $250,800

Life=11

Purchased on 1/10/2021

Amortization = Cost / Estimated useful life

= $250,080/11

=$22,800

Amortization per annum is $22,800

Calculation of the amortization for 3 month period=

Amortization of 3 month (Oct-Dec.) = $22,800 * 3/12

=$5,700
