Black Widow Corporation engaged you for the first time to audit their financial statements as of and for

Patent B
Patent C

Relevant information related to the intangibles are as follows:
• The entity incurred P800,000 research and development costs in 2019 related to the Patent A.
Black Widow incurred 9750,000 for the application of the patent, and it was approved on July 2,
2019. The entity estimated that the useful life of the patent is 10 years. The entity capitalized all
costs incurred related to the patent, including the research and development costs, and amortized
the patent accordingly.
Patent B was purchased last January 2, 2020 for P2,500,000. Based from the previous owner's
estimate, the remaining useful life of the patent upon purchase was 2 years, however, Black
Widow expects to benefit from the patent for 5 years from the date of acquisition. On December
30, 2020, the entity successfully defended the patent from an infringement lawsuit. The company
paid P200,000 legal expenses, which was capitalized by the entity. The entity amortized the
patent accordingly.
• Black Widow applied for another patent (Patent C) on June 30, 2020. The entity incurred
P2,000,000 for the registration of the patent, and expects to benefit from the patent for the whole
duration of its legal life. However, the entity was not able to provide an amortization for this
patent.
• The trademark was purchased last November 2, 2020 for P1,000,000. The useful life of the said
trademark is deemed to be indefinite. By the end of 2020, the recoverable amount of the
trademark is P1,050,000.
• A franchise agreement was entered into by your client on January 2, 2020. The initial franchise
fee is P5,000,000, and the franchise is good for 5. Black Widow is required to pay 5% of its annual
revenue from the franchise. The entity generated P1,000,000 during 2020, and capitalized the
