answer is :  Number 2 ,  100,000

 

Two intangible assets were acquired at the beginning of the year. The first has a finite life and thus should be amortized;

_

the second has an indefinite life and cannot be amortized. The second asset looks like it might be impaired, but they did not ask for the impairment loss.

_

The acquisition cost of the first intangible asset was $5,000,000. That cost is amortized over the life of 50 years, for an annual amortization of $100,000.
