Due to rapid employee turnover in the accounting department, the following transactions involving intangible assets were improperly recorded by Bramble Corporation.

1. Bramble developed a new manufacturing process, incurring research and development costs of $154,800. The company also purchased a patent for $54,000. In early January, Bramble capitalized $208,800 as the cost of the patents. Patent amortization expense of $10,440 was recorded based on a 20-year useful life.

2. On July 1, 2017, Bramble purchased a small company and as a result recorded goodwill of $84,000. Bramble recorded a half-year's amortization in 2017, based on a 20-year life ($2,100 amortization). The goodwill has an indefinite life.
