    The leasehold building improvement should be amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease, which is 6 years, the life of the said improvement is 8 years. To get the amortization for a year, the calculation should be:

    $48,000 / 6 = $8,000 (amortization for a year),

    $8,000 / 12 * 6months (jan - june) = $4,000

    So with that, the amount of leasehold improvement would be like this:

    $48,000 - $4,000 = $44, 000
