Mabuhay Enterprises has been in business for several years. A client-prepared trial
balance for December 31, 2016 is presented:
Patent
All patents were purchased from another company when Mabuhay Enterprises began
operations on January 3, 2009. These patents are being amortized over an expected
useful life of 14 years. Improvements made to equipment covered by the patents
costing Php750,000 were debited to the account in January 2013. Amortization in
2013-2015 included amortization on the Php750,000 for the remaining life of the
relevant patent. You have determined that the Php750,000 should have been
expensed in 2013 in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets. It is further determined
on December 31, 2016, that one of the patents has a remaining life of only 2 years. This
patent was originally assigned a cost of Php2,1000,000.
Franchise Agreement
A franchise agreement was signed on January 1, 2016. A Php500,000 fee was paid,
covering a five year period, at the end of which the company may renew the agreement
by paying Php500,000. A decision of renewal has not been made as of December 31,
2016. The agreement calls for an annual payment of 5% of revenue. An entry debiting
the account for Php450,000 was made at the time of the cash payment at the end of
2016.
Organizational Costs
Organization costs include the unamortized portion of amounts paid to promoters for
services rendered at the inception of the corporation. These fees have been amortized,
since inception, over an estimated 10-year life.

early 2016, expected to be of value for an indefinite period.
Php100,000 Paid to an advertising consulting firm in early 2015 for a major advertising
effort expected to be beneficial for an indefinite period.
No amortization has been taken on any amount in the intangible assets accounts
during the year 2016
