How to adjust account in the patent

5 out of 5

69 votes

The tutorial discusses adjusting patents in the context of the 2017 sole trader M. Mullin account. It emphasizes that the patent value includes four months of investment income, which needs to be removed for accurate accounting. The patent is to be depreciated over five years, starting in 2016, meaning it will decrease each year until fully written off. The first step is to determine the annual investment income and its corresponding four-month amount. This involves reviewing the trial balance to find the total investment income, which is set at three percent. Overall, the tutorial guides on ensuring correct adjustments to the patents and investment income for proper financial reporting.
