Details                                                  $          

Intangible Assets

Goodwill                                        295,000

Patent                                              80,500

Franchise                                       323,000  

 Total Intangible Assets              698,500  

Explanation:

Goodwill = Goodwill on December 31, 2021 = Cash paid - Fair value of the net identifiable assets = $2,745,000 - $2,450,000 = $295,000

Patent annual amortization expense = Patent value / Number of years UTS believes the patent will be useful = $92,000 / 8 = $11,500

Patent = Patent on December 31, 2021 = Patent value - Patent annual amortization expense = $92,000 - $11,500 = $80,500

Franchise annual amortization expense = Initial franchise fee / Contractual life of the franchise = $340,000 / 10 = $34,000

Franchise half-yearly amortization expense (from July 1 to December 31, 2021) = Franchise annual amortization expense / 2 = $34,000 / 2 = $17,000

Franchise = Franchise on December 31, 2021 = Initial franchise fee - Franchise half-yearly amortization expense = $340,000 - $17,000 = $323,000
