In early January, Kaya capitalized TL160,000 as the cost of the patents. Patent amortization expense of TL8,000 was recorded based on a 20-year useful life.
2. On July 1, 2011, Kaya purchased a small company and as a result acquired goodwill of TL200,000. Kaya recorded a half-year’s amortization in 2011, based on a 50-year life (TL2,000 amortization). The goodwill has an indefinite life.
