Answer:

$8,600

Explanation:

total expenses incurred in the office improvements = $51,600

useful life of the office improvements = 6 (useful life for Phoenix Agency)

Phoenix cannot depreciate the office improvements, it must amortize them:

amortization per year = improvement costs / lesser of estimated useful life or remaining length of lease  = $51,600 / 6 years = $8,600
