    a. 19.750 b. 138.250

    Explanation:

    A. We divide 158.000 by 8 to get the amount per year

    158.000/8 = 19.750

    Amortization expense (Db) 19.750 Accumulated amortization (Cr) 19.750

    B. On the balance sheet at the end of the first year, we would subtract those 19.750 to the gross value of the patent and the value of the patent would be

    158.000 - 19.750 = 138.250

    Net carrying amount of the patent: 138.250
