Assume that Brittany acquires a competitor's assets on September 30th of year 1 for $350,000. Of that amount, $300,000 is allocated to tangible assets and $50,000 is allocated equally to two §197 intangible assets (goodwill and a 1-year non-compete agreement). Given, that the non-compete agreement expires on September 30th of year 2, what is Brittany's amortization expense for the second year, rounded to the nearest whole number?
