- 52 - Because respondent contends that there is no fair market value to support the existence of the favorable financing intangibles, respondent offered no view as to their useful lives. Although Dr. Hakala disagrees that the average weighted lives equal the remaining useful lives of the assets, Dr. Hakala substantially agreed with the average weighted life calculations performed by petitioner’s experts. We find that petitioner has proven that its favorable financing intangible assets have reasonably estimable useful lives equal to the average weighted lives of the debt obligations from which these assets arose. We hold that petitioner’s favorable financing intangible assets had useful lives as follows: Debt Average Weighted Life G-15 5 years, 5 months G-16 6 years, 8 months G-17 12 years, 5 months F-8 11 months F-11 8 years, 11 months F-12 2 months F-13 12 years, 2 months F-15 5 months F-18 1 year, 2 months D-2 5 years, 3 months Z-2 34 years, 11 months Z-3 9 years, 11 months ND 1 year, 8 months CD-1 4 years, 0 months GMC A 1975 3 years, 4 months GMC B 1975 3 years, 9 months GMC A 1976 3 years, 10 months GMC B 1976 5 years, 6 months GMC A 1977 4 years, 9 months GMC B 1977 6 years, 3 months GMC C 1977 8 years, 2 months GMC A 1978 8 years, 5 monthsPage: Previous 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 Next
