Does GAAP require amortization of goodwill against net income? If not, when does goodwill decrease? A.Maybe, under IFRS goodwill is written off or reduced to a lesser value only when its value is impaired. Under US GAAP, goodwill is amortized. B.Yes, goodwill is always amortized against net income over the estimated useful life of the goodwill. C.No, under both the U.S. GAAP and IFRS goodwill is written off or reduced to a lesser value only when its value is impaired. D.Maybe, if goodwill is purchased, it should be amortized over the estimated useful life of the goodwill, if goodwill is created then it should not be amortized.

ANSWER


As per GAAP, self generated intangible assets cannot be recognised whereas acquired intangible assets can be recognised and amortized over its useful life.

Hence we can say that self generated goodwill cannot be amortized and acquired godwill can be amortized.
Correct Option is 
D) May be, if goodwill is ourchased, it should be amortized over the estimated useful life of the goodwill, if good will is ccreated then it should not be amortized.

Question: prove by induction 2^2 + 4^2 + 6^2 + ... + (2n)^2 = (2n)(2n+1)(2n+2)/6 ANSWER we will use induction on n base case : n=1 we have, 2^2 = 2*3*4/6 = 4 which is true inductive hypothesis let it be true for n = k i.e.,  2^2 + 4^2 + ... + (2k)^2 =   [(2k)(2k+1)(2k+2)]/6 inductive case let n = k+1 then we have 2^2 + 4^2 + .... + (2k)^2 + (2(k+1))^2 =   [(2k)(2k+1)(2k+2)]/6 + (2k+2)^2 =(2k+2)*[(2k)(2k+1)/6 + (2k+2)] =(2k+2)*[ (4k^2+2k)/6 + (12k + 12)/6 ] =(2k+2)*[ (4k^2+14k+12)/6 ] = =(2k+2)*[(2k)(2k+1)/6 + (2k+2)] =(2k+2)*[ (4k^2+2k)/6 + (12k + 12)/6 ] =(2k+2)*[ (4k^2+14k+12)/6 ] = (2k+2)*[ (4k^2 + 8k + 6k + 12)/6 ] = (2k+2)*[ (4k(k + 2) +6(k+2))/6 ] = (2k+2)*[ (4k+6)(k+2)/6 ] =  (2k+2)*[ 2 (2k+3)(k+2)/6  ] =   (2k+2)*[  (2k+3)*2*(k+2)/6  ] =   (2k+2)*[  (2k+3)(2k+4)/6  ] = [(2*(k+1))(2*(k+1)+1)(2*(k+1)+2)]/6 replacing k+1 by m, we get replacing k+1 by m, we get [(2*m)(2*m+1)(2*m+2)]/6 this completes our proof b...

Question: Q1 a. Sketch the static characteristics of a diode. (6 marks) b. An AC voltage source V drives a transformer with centre tap second indin gs connected to two rectifiers is shown in the following diagram. The load has constant current Io. Assume that when the diode conducts the forward voltage drop is Ve d V Vmsnot. The turns ratio is N: 1:1. Sketch the current waveform through one of the diodes. (6 marks) c. Write down an equation for efficiency of a power converter in terms of output power and converter losses (2 marks) d. Given the following parameters, calculate the efficiency of the power converter. Va = 310 V ω-2π50 forward voltage drop of the diodes VF = 0.7 V Transformer turns ratio = 10: 1 : 1 load current = 10 A Assume that the transformer has no loss and converter losses come from the diodes only. Also assume the diode voltage drop does not change with current. State your assumption if there is any 6 marks) ANSWER
