This is my 3rd attempt to get a question answered. Here we go again.. My question is related to the patents. The company purchased 500,000. are the steps for amoritizing on a straight-line basis with no salvage value? The estimated useful life of patents is 30 years and on December 31 2020 the value of the patent is estimated to be 100,000. I think it is a decline however unsure of how to show it on the journal.
