PROBLEM NO.
You noted the following items relative to the company’s Intangible assets in connection with your audit
of the PRTC Corporation’s financial statements for the year 2012. Franchise On January 1, 2012, PRTC
signed an agreement to operate as franchisee of Clear Copy Service, Inc. for an initial franchise of
P680,000. Of this amount, P200,000 was paid when the agreement was signed and the balance was
payable in four annual payments of P120,000 each, beginning January 1, 2013. The agreement provides
that the down payment is not refundable and no future services are required of the franchisor. The
implicit rate for loan of this type is 14%. The agreement also provides the 5% of the revenue from the
franchise must be paid to the franchisor annually. PRTC’s revenue from the franchise for 2012 was
P8,000,000. PRTC estimates the useful life of the franchise to be ten years. Patent On July 1, 2012, PRTC
purchased a patent from the inventor, who asked P1,100,000 for it. PRTC paid for the patent as follows:
cash, P400,000; issuance of 10,000 shares of its own ordinary shares, par P10 (market value, P20 per
share); and a note payable due at the end of three years, face amount, P500,000, noninterest-bearing.
The current interest rate for this type of financing is 12 percent. PRTC estimates the useful life of the
patent to be ten years. Trademark PRTC purchased for P1,200,000 a trademark for a very successful soft
drink it markets under the name POWER!. The trademark was determined to have an indefinite life. A
competitor recently introduced a product that is in direct competition with the POWER! product, thus
suggesting the need for an impairment test. Data gathered by the entity suggests that the useful life of
the trademark is still indefinite, but the cash flows expected to be generated by the trademark have
been reduced either to P40,000 per year (with a probability of 70%) or to P80,000 per year (with 30%
probability). The appropriate risk-free interest rate is 5%. The appropriate riskadjusted interest rate is
10%.
