Ayayai corporation purchases a patent from blossom company on january 1, 2020, for $40,000. the patent has a remaining legal life of 12 years. ayayai feels the patent will be useful for 10 years. prepare ayayai’s journal entries to record the purchase of the patent and 2020 amortization

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Patent A/c Dr $40,000

     To Cash A/c $40,000

(Being patent is purchase in cash is recorded)

2. Amortization expense A/c Dr $4,000

      To Patent A/c $4,000

(Being amortization expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Patent ÷ useful life

= $40,000 ÷ 10 years

= $4,000

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

the answer is a.
