Answer:

Johan Co.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is given that the Johan Co. has an intangible asset and we already know that on an intangible asset, the amortization expense is charged whereas on the other side the Abco Co has goodwill on which the impairment is charged

So, in the given scenario, the amortization should be reported on Johan Co financial statements only
