Amortization (2 year S/L)

Burcicki, Jim: While amortization in its normal sense would be considered a FC, it is considered a VC here because the number of carts is variable even though we are using an average of 200 carts as the basis.

Burcicki, Jim: Will cost 15k so I am assuming the expense is being accrued and therefore expensed in December as an adjusting entry.

Burcicki, Jim: The author expenses the 10k in January. However, it states that the 10k will be purchased during the first quarter – first three months – in sufficient quantities to last the entire year. This should be a prepaid and then expensed during the year. With no set amoutns, I assumed an even distribution throughout the year.
