Ivanhoe purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,240,000 on January 1, 2018. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2028. During 2020, Ivanhoe 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, 2020

$744,000

Explanation:

The amount that should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020 will be:

First, we have to calculate the amortization recorded up to 2019. This will be:

= (1,240,000 / 10) x 2

= 248,000

The we calculate the amortization to be recognized in 2020. This will be:

= (1,240,000 – 248,000) / 4

= 248,000

The amount that should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020 will be:

= 1240000 - 248000 - 248000

= $744,000
