Other information follows:

1. SBC uses the straight-line method to depreciate all depreciable assets other than computer equipment. The company takes a half-year of depreciation in the year of acquisition and a half-year of depreciation in the year of disposal. SBC uses a double-declining balance method to depreciate its computer equipment.

2. As SBC does not prepare interim statements, it only prepares adjusting entries at its year end.

3. The offsetting entry for depreciation expense is a credit to an accumulated depreciation account for both tangible and intangible assets.

4. The offsetting entry for impairment losses is a credit to an accumulated impairment loss account for both tangible and intangible assets.

5. SBC's trademark and patent are each considered to be a cash-generating unit as SBC leases (rents out) both these assets to an outside entity for a royalty fee.

6. SBC paid $75,000 to acquire a patent in 20X1. In 20X3 SBC wrote down the value of its patent $30,000 as it its value was judged to be impaired due to a competitor's copying of the design. During 20X4, SBC spent $12,000 successfully defending its
