(1) Depreciation is computed for the exact period of time during which the asset is owned. (Use 365 days for the base and record depreciation through March 9, 2019.)

(2) Depreciation is computed for the full year on the January 1 balance in the asset account.

(3) Depreciation is computed for the full year on the December 31 balance in the asset account.

(4) Depreciation for one-half year is charged on plant assets acquired or disposed of during the year.

(5) Depreciation is computed on additions from the beginning of the month following acquisition and on disposals to the beginning of the month following disposal.

Question 9 -

Presented below is selected information for Pharoah Company.

Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations.

1. Pharoah purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,150,000 on January 1, 2015. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2025. During 2017, Pharoah determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. What amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2017?

2. Pharoah bought a franchise from Alexander Co. on January 1, 2016, for $325,000. The carrying amount of the franchise on Alexander's books on January 1, 2016, was $475,000. The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Pharoah must enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2018, it is unlikely that the franchise will be retained beyond 2025. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?

3. On January 1, 2017, Pharoah incurred organization costs of $262,500. What amount of organization expense should be reported in 2017?

4. Pharoah purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2017, for $145,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Pharoah can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?
