Respuesta :

The amount should Fafnir report as intangible asset - franchise is -

Purchase value of Franchise = $ 50,000

Life of Franchise = 10 years

Salvage value = $ 0 ( not given)

Since, no other methods of amortization are specifically mentioned, straight line method will be used.

Book value of Franchise = Purchase price - Amortization expenses

Book value of Franchise = $ 50,000 - [ ( $ 50,000 - $ 0) / 10 Years ]

Straight-line depreciation = ( Purchase price - Salvage value) / Number of years

Book value of Franchise = $ 50,000 - $ 5,000 = $ 45,000

The amount should Fafnir report as intangible asset - franchise is = $ 45,000
