The amount of expense that Armstrong Inc. must show on its income statement is $24,000.

This amount represents the Amortization of the Brand Image Enhancement ($9,000), the Impairment Loss in the Fair Value of the acquired assets ($5,000), and the Goodwill Impairment ($10,000).

Data and Calculations:

Fair value of Quine Corporation on January 1, Year 5 = $60,000

Fair value of Quine Corporation on December 31, Year 5 = $55,000

Goodwill (acquired) on January 1, Year 1 = $100,000

Duration of Goodwill = 10 years

Cost of Brand Image Enhancement in Year 5 = $36,000

Estimated useful life of Brand Image = 4 years

Annual amortization of Brand Image = $9,000 ($36,000/4)

Impairment Loss of Fair Value of Assets = $5,000 ($60,000 - $55,000)

Goodwill Impairment = $10,000 ($100,000/10)

Total expenses = $24,000 ($9,000 + $5,000 + $10,000)

Thus, $24,000 expense will be shown on Armstrong, Inc.'s Income Statement in Year 5.
