Presented below is selected information for Pharoah Company.

Answer the questions asked about each of the factual situations.

1. Pharoah purchased a patent from Vania Co. for $1,150,000 on January 1, 2015. The patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on January 1, 2025.

The franchise agreement had an estimated useful life of 30 years. Because Pharoah must enter a competitive bidding at the end of 2018, it is unlikely that the franchise will be retained beyond 2025.
