Problem 6
NADEL Corp's patents had carrying value amounting to P840,000 as of December 31, 2012, before amortization. All patents were purchased
on January 2, 2004, 6 years after their registration. Thus, these patents are being amortized over their remaining legal life from date of purchase.
Legal expenses in successfully defending the patent totaling to P112,500 were debited to the amount of January 2009. Amortization in 2009-2011
included amortization on the P112,500 for the remaining life of the relevant patent. It is determined that the P112,500 should have been expensed
in 2009. It is further determined that one of the patents has a remaining life of only 3 years as at the beginning of 2012. This patent was orginally
assigned a cost of P315,000. 840,000
112,500
Based on the above information, ascertain the following: 315,000
1) What is the correct amortization for 2012?
2) What is the adjusted carrying value of the patents as of December 31, 2012?

Problem 9
HOWARD Corp acquired a patent right on July 1, 2007 for P250,000. The remaining a legal life on the date of purchase is 15 years. However, due to
rapidly changing technology, management estimates that the remaining useful life on July 1, 2007 is only 5 yrs.
At Jan 1, 2008, management is uncertain that the process can actually be made economically feasible and decides to write down the patent to an
estimated recoverable amount of P75,000. Amortization will be taken over 3 years from that point.
On Jan 1, 2010, having perfected the related production process, the entity adopts the revaluation model to measure the patent. The patent now
has a fair value of P 300,000. Furthermore, the estimated remaining useful life is now believed to be 5 yrs. 250,000
