On January 1, Blue Manufacturing paid $ 30 comma 000 for a patent. Although it gives legal protection for 20 years, the patent is expected to provide a competitive advantage for only five years. Assuming the straight-line method of amortization, record the journal entry for amortization for Year 1.

    Amortization expense $6,000

    To Patent $6,000

    (Being the amortization expense is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below:

    Amortization expense $6,000

    To Patent $6,000

    (Being the amortization expense is recorded)

    The computation is shown below:

    = Paid amount : number of years

    = $30,000 : 5 years

    = $6,000

    While recording this transaction we debited the amortization expense as it increased the expenses account and credited the patent account as it decreased the asset account
