Answer:

1. Ending Carrying value value in 2016 = legal cost for application which is $20,000

Ending Carrying value in 2017 = legal cost of application in 2016 + legal fees incurred in 2017 = $20,00 + $8000= $28,000

2. The company should not amortize the trade as it was not impaired in 2016 and 2017.

The trade name can be amortized if it's useful life is known above which the company has determined that it will not use the trade name anymore, then it will be amortized over it's useful life.

If you are worried about the cash flow forecasts, it would be best to lower the operating leverage so as to reduce the forecasting error associated with the project.
