Nieland incurred research and development costs


Nieland Industries had one patent recorded on its books. This patent had a book value of $288,000 and a remaining useful life of 8 years. During 2014, Nieland incurred research and development costs of $96,000 and brought a patent infringement suit against a competitor. On December 1, 2014, Nieland received the good news that its patent was valid and that its competitor could not use the process Nieland had patented. The company incurred $85,000 to defend this patent. At what amount should patent(s) be reported on the December 31, 2014, balance sheet, assuming monthly amortization of patents?
