Question:

On September 5, 2023, Nelson Lumber purchased timber rights in Northern Quebec for $432,000, paying $96,000 cash and the balance by issuing a non-current note. Logging the area is expected to take three years, and the timber rights will have no value after that time. On September 27, 2023, Nelson Lumber purchased a patent for $148,000 for new logging equipment on account. It is expected that the patent will be technologically obsolete in 10 years. Nelson’s year-end is December 31 and it uses the straight-line method to amortize intangibles.


Required
