[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] On January 1, 2018, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $270,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company estimates the patent will be useful for only six more years. In January 2020, the company incurred legal fees of $90,000 in successfully defending a patent infringement suit. The successful defense did not change the companys estimate of useful life. Weaver Corporations year-end is December 31.
