Answer:

$14,200

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the Cost of the Patent

Research and Development costs        $101000

Add legal fees                                         $41000

Total                                                         $142,000

Step 2 Determine Amortization Expense

Amortization Expense = Cost/ Useful life

                                     = $142,000/10 years

                                     = $14,200
