Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
February 22, Purchase of Timber rights $1,140,000
Estimated stand of timber = 6,000,000
Used board feet of timber = 1,600,000
Units of product Depletion
= $1,140,000/6,000,000 * 1,600,000
= $304,000
December 31, Goodwill impairment
= $1,110,000
April 3 Patent:
Cost incurred $9,120,000
Amortization per annum = $608,000 ($9,120,000/15)
Amortization for the current year = $456,000 ($608,000 * 3/4)
