Compute the total carrying amount of Marin' patents on its December 31, 2019, balance sheet.
Total carrying amount
$enter the Total carrying amount in dollars
1) Computation of Carrying Amount on Dec 31, 2019 is shown as follows:
For Patent A:
Useful Life in Months = 17 years*12 months = 204 months
Months used upto Dec 31, 2019 from Mar 1, 2016 = 2016+2017+2018+2019 = 10+12+12+12 = 46 months
Accumulated Amortization of Patent A upto Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent A*(Month used/Useful Life in Months)
= $43,452*(46/204)
Accumulated Amortization of Patent A upto Dec 31, 2019 = $9,798
Carrying Amount of Patent A on Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent A - Accumulated Amortization
= $43,452 - $9,798
= $33,654
For Patent B:
Useful Life in Months = 10 years*12 months = 120 months
Months used upto Dec 31, 2019 from Jul 1, 2017 = 2017+2018+2019
= 6+12+12 = 30 months
Accumulated Amortization of Patent B upto Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent B*(Month used/Useful Life in Months)
= $16,560*(30/120) = $4,140
Carrying Amount of Patent B on Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent B - Accumulated Amortization
= $16,560 - $4,140
= $12,420
For Patent C:
Useful Life in Months = 4 years*12 months = 48 months
Months used upto Dec 31, 2019 from Sep 1, 2018 = 2018+2019
= 4+12 = 16 months
Accumulated Amortization of Patent C upto Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent C*(Month used/Useful Life in Months)
= $20,640*(16/48)
= $6,880
Carrying Amount of Patent C on Dec 31, 2019 = Cost of Patent C - Accumulated Amortization
= $20,640 - $6,880
= $13,760
Total Carrying Amount = Carrying Amount of Patent A on Dec 31, 2019 + Carrying Amount of Patent B on Dec 31, 2019 + Carrying Amount of Patent C on Dec 31, 2019
= $33,654 + $12,420 + $13,760
Total Carrying Amount = $59,834
