Steady Company purchased a copyright worth P300,000 in 2021. The entity followed the policy of amortizing copyright cost over the
expected period of benefit by the straight line method.
The copyright is expected to be useful in producing revenue for 5 years.
Prepare the amortization schedule.
Basically, you have to "spread evenly" the cost of copyright over its useful life if the straight-line method is used to amortize the cost. In this case, you recognize 60,000 amortization a year (300,000/5 years). Please see in explanation part for the solution.
Additionally, you would need to record an adjusting journal entry to record the annual amortization of the copyright as follows:
Debit: Amortization expense 60,000
Credit: Accumulated Amortization 60,000
