Step 1: Determine the amortization of patents

Particulars Amount

Martes Inc Assets' Book Value $4,808,000

Though eliminating Percy division will prevent the loss of $26,200. However with a fixed cost totalling $35600 which will have to be beared by other five divisions, eliminating Percy division won't be a good idea.
