- Kate Corporation owns a patent on an automated system. The company has been amortizing the patent on a straight-line basis since 2013, when it was acquired at a cost of $60 million at the beginning of that year. Due to technological advancements, management has now decided that the patent will benefit the company for a total of five years instead of the original ten-year amortization period. This decision was made at the end of 2016 (before adjusting and closing entries).

- What are the beginning and ending amounts of equity on these financial accounting question?arrow_forwardGeneral accounting questionarrow_forwardSeveral years ago, a parent company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of its subsidiary for a purchase price of $320,000. On the acquisition date, this purchase price was $75,000 more than the subsidiary's book value of Stockholders' Equity. The AAP was entirely attributable to Goodwill. On the date of acquisition, the parent company's management believed that the goodwill had a 10-year useful life. Since the date of acquisition, the subsidiary has reported a cumulative net income of $260,000 and paid $105,000 in dividends to its parent company. Compute the balance of the Equity Investment account on the parent's balance sheet, assuming that the Goodwill asset has not declined in value since the date of acquisition.arrow_forward
