Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

patent cost[tex]=376000[/tex]  

Start dividing by the useful life =8  

Amortization per year[tex]=47000[/tex]  

Amortization for 3 years=[tex]47000\times 3=141000[/tex]

3 Year end-of-year book value=[tex]376000-141000=235000[/tex]

Year 4's book value[tex]=254000[/tex]  

Multiply by the useful life[tex]=5[/tex]

Year 4 patent amortization cost[tex]=50800[/tex]
