Calculate the foreign exchange savings Find the domestic resource cost ratio Explain whether public funds should be invested in this project or notRequired information Learning Objective 11-04 Calculate the periodic amortization of an intangible asset. (The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] The allocation process for intangible assets is called amortization. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the capitalized cost less any estimated residual value must be allocated to periods in which the asset is expected to contribute to the company's revenue-generating activities.
