Answer:
132,000$ will be recorded by west as amortization expense for the year.
Explanation:
Depreciation/amortization is systematic allocation of cost of asset over its useful life. In this case asset cost is not given so we assume that PV of lease payment is equal to market value (660,000 dollars) of asset.
