15 The ABG company bought a patent for €3,000. Although the patent is legally protected for a period of 10 years, market research has shown that the patent can only be commercially exploitable for 6 years, during which time it is expected to generate a net cash flow of €1,000 per year. How will the €3,000 be recognised and how will you deal with it after initial recognition (the market rate of interest is 10%)?
