Amortization of Intangibles and Effects on Statement of Cash Flows
Tableleaf Inc. purchased a patent a number of years ago. The patent is being amortized on a

December 31, 2008 and 2007, included the following line item:

Required
1. How much amortization expense was recorded during 2008?
2. What was the patent’s acquisition cost? When was it acquired? What is its estimated useful
life? How was the acquisition of the patent reported on that year’s statement of cash flows?
3. Assume that Tableleaf uses the indirect method to prepare its statement of cash flows. How is
the amortization of the patent reported annually on the statement of cash flows?

statement of cash flows?
