On January 1, 2023 (the first day of its fiscal year) Swifty Ltd. acquired a patent which gave the company the
right to use a production process. The process met the six criteria for capitalization as an intangible asset.
Below is a listing of the events relating to the patent over the five fiscal years from 2023 through 2027:
2023:
2024:
on January 1, acquired the patent for the production process for a cash payment of $18,600,000, and
determined that the process had an indefinite useful life.
on December 31, tested the patent for impairment and determined that its fair value was $19,800,000.
2026:

2025:
on December 31, tested the patent for impairment and determined that its fair value was $18,000,000.
on January 1, determined that the useful life of the patent was no longer indefinite, its carrying amount
was recoverable, its estimated remaining useful life was 7 years, its estimated residual value was $0
and the pattern of economic benefits to be obtained from the patent during those 7 years was evenly
spread over those 7 years.
on December 31, tested the process for impairment and recoverability and determined that its fair
value was $1,200,000 and its carrying amount was recoverable.
2027:

was $0 and its carrying amount was not recoverable.
