Explain the difference between artistic-related intangible assets and contract-related intangible assets.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distinction between artistic-related intangible assets and contract-related intangible assets is that copyrights protect artistic-related assets, but contract-related assets represent the value of rights arising from contractual agreements.

Step by step solution

01

Artistic-related intangible assets

Ownership rights to plays, photos, photographs, and video and audiovisual content are examples of artistic intangible assets. Copyrights safeguard these ownership rights.

02

Contract-related intangible assets

These are the worth of rights arising from contractual agreements. Examples are franchise and license agreements, building permissions, broadcast rights, and service or supply contracts.

The following is selected information for Alatorre Company.

1. Alatorre purchased a patent from Vania Co. for \(1,000,000 on January 1, 2015. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2025. During 2017, Alatorre determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. What amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2017?

2. Alatorre bought a franchise from Alexander Co. on January 1, 2016, for \)400,000. The carrying amount of the franchise on Alexander’s books on January 1, 2016, was \(500,000. The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Alatorre must enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2018, it is unlikely that the franchise will be retained beyond 2025. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?

3. On January 1, 2017, Alatorre incurred organization costs of \)275,000. What amount of organization expense should be reported in 2017?

4. Alatorre purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2017, for $150,000.

What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2017?
