On the basis of this information, compute the total amount to be reported by Hyde for intangible assets on its balance sheet at year-end. Equipment has alternative future use.

Answer 1

90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

An intangible asset is an asset that is not physical in nature. Goodwill, brand recognition and intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, are all intangible assets.

Trademarks = 15,000

Excess of cost over the fair value of net

identifiable assets (Goodwill) = 75,000

Total intangible assets = 90,000
