I just saw one Far question about patent amortization.
It says that company A purchased a patent for $60,000. The patent has a legal life of 5 year, but they have option to renew the patent with a small cost. The patent will generate benefit for 20 years,but company A plan to sell it at the end of 3rd year. What is the current year amortization expense.So I understand that the amortization period should be the lower of legal life or economic life. And company A has no intent to renew the patent. So should I use 5 year instead of 20 years? Could anyone explain to me in detail please?
