Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what amount should the patent be reported on Van Buren's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021.

Unrecorded patent is valued at $45,000

Less Amortization for 2 years (9 years remaining life) ($10,000)

(45,000/9 years*2)

Patent reported $35,000

($45,000-$10,000)

Therefore the amount of patent that should be reported on Van Buren's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 is $35,000
