Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

1. The income statement will report 6,400 of amortization expense for the copyright and an additional 25,000 of amortization expense for the patent.
2. The balance sheet will carry the copyright at the unamortized amount of 140,800 and the patent at the unamortized amount of 400,000.
3. Intangible assets have value based upon the rights and privileges that accrue to the owner. For example, a patent is the right to exploit an invention in the market place for a finite period. Thus, even though intangible assets cannot be touched, they have value to generate sales.
