Chapter 10 Exercise 55 LO 10-6, 10-7 Sorenson Manufacturing Corporation was incorporated on auary 3 , 2019. The corporation's financial statements for its first year's operations were not examined by a CPA. You have been engaged to audit the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, and your work is substantially completed. A partial trial balance of the company's accounts follows: *An intangible asset representing the right to use a patent. The following information relates to accounts that may yet require adjustment: 1. Patents for Sorenson's manufacturing process were purchased January 2,2020 , at a cost of \( \$ 68,000 \). An additional \( \$ 17,000 \) was spent in December 2020 to improve machinery covered by the patents and charged to the Patents account. The patents had a remaining legal term of 17 years. 2. On January 3, 2019, Sorenson purchased two licensing agreements; at that time they were believed to have unlimited useful lives. The balance in the Licensing Agreement No. 1 account included its purchase price of \( \$ 48,000 \) and \( \$ 2,000 \) in acquisition expenses. Licensing Agreement No. 2 also was purchased on January 3,2019 , for \( \$ 50,000 \), but it has been reduced by a credit of \( \$ 1,000 \) for the advance collection of revenue from the agreement. 3. In December 2019, an explosion caused a permanent 60 percent reduction in the expected revenue-producing value of Licensing Agreement No. 1 and, in January 2020, a flood caused additional damage, which rendered the agreement worthless. 4. A study of Licensing Agreement No. 2 made by Sorenson in January 2020 revealed that its estimated remaining life expectancy was only 10 years as of January \( 1,2020 \). 5. The balance in the Goodwill account includes \( \$ 24,000 \) paid December 30, 2019, for an advertising program, which it is estimated will assist in increasing Sorenson's sales over a period of four years following the disbursement. 6. The Leasehold Improvement account includes (a) the \( \$ 15,000 \) cost of improvements with a total estimated useful life of 12 years, which Sorenson, as tenant, made to leased premises in January 2019; (b) movable assembly-line equipment costing \( \$ 8,500 \), which was installed in the leased premises in December 2020; and (c) real estate taxes of \( \$ 2,500 \) paid by Sorenson, which, under the terms of the lease, should have been paid by the landlord. Sorenson paid its rent in full during 2020. A 10-year nonrenewable lease was signed January 3, 2019, for the leased building that Sorenson used in manufacturing operations. 7. The balance in the Organization Expenses account includes preoperating costs incurred during the organizational period. Required: 1.
