Due to rapid turnover in the accounting department, several transactions involving intangible assets were improperly recorded by Blossom Co. in the year ended December 31, 2021:

1.		Blossom developed a new manufacturing process early in the year, incurring research and development costs of $165,000. Of this amount, 45% was considered to be development costs that could be capitalized. Blossom recorded the entire $165,000 in the Patents account and amortized it using a 15-year estimated useful life.
2.		On July 1, 2021, Blossom purchased a small company and, as a result of the purchase, recorded goodwill of $410,000. Blossom recorded a half-years amortization on the goodwill in 2021 based on a 40-year useful life and credited the Goodwill account.
3.		Several years ago, Blossom paid $71,000 for a licence to be the exclusive Canadian distributor of a Danish beer. In 2018, Blossom determined there was an impairment of $41,000 in the value of the licence and recorded the loss. In 2021, because of a change in consumer tastes, the value of the licence increased to $81,000. Blossom recorded the $51,000 increase in the licences value by crediting Impairment Loss and debiting the Licence account. Management felt the company should consistently record increases and decreases in value.

Assuming that Blossom reports under IFRS, prepare the journal entries that are needed to correct the errors made during 2021.
