Answer:
The book value of patents should be reported at: $336,000.
Explanation:
Under U.S GAAP, R&D is not permitted to capitalized, thus R&D expenses incurred in the period is not relevant in calculation the book value of patent. On the other hand, successful ligation costs are allowed to be capitalized.
We have the book value of patents = Book value at opening of 2020 + Cost of successful patent infringement suit at 1st December 2020 - amortization of patents in the period of the year 2020;
where: Amortization of patents in the period = 12 months of book value at opening of 2020 amortization + 1 month of Cost of successful patent infringement suit = 288,000/ ( 8 x 12) x 12 + 85,000/( 1 + 7 x 12) x 1 = 37,000 ( as amortization is distributed equally on remaining useful life ( in months))
=> The book value at the end of 2020 = 288,000 + 85,000 - 37,000 = $336,000
Answer:
His total amount of interest over the period of 30 years would be $608,290.26.
Explanation:
His loan will be calculated based upon the remaining principle after each monthly payment.
For example his 1st payment @6.25% interest rate on full amount of $500,000 would be ($500,000*6.25%= $31,250/12 = $2,604.17). We divide the total amount of interest by 12 to get the monthly payment amount.
Now after we get the interest amount, we reduce this interest amount from his total monthly payment of $3,078.59 to get the monthly principle repayment which comes out at $474.42 for the first month.
After that we reduce this principle repayment from his original loan balance of $500,000 to get his new balance of $499,525 on which interest will be levied i.e. ($499,525*6.25%/12 = 2601.7). This step goes on for 30 years and his total interest payment in those 30 years will be $608,290.26.
