The franchisee cost that should be capitalised, will be the total amount incurred to acquire the franchisee, which is $100000, the legal fees of $4000 will also be added to the amount as it has been incurred in assciation with the acquisition thus the total cost which should be capitalised will be $100000+$4000 which comes to a total of $104000.
