Answer:
Original Cost = $26.10
Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years
Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million
Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million
Unamortized Value = $14.5 million
Remaining Life = 6 - 4
Remaining Life = 2 Years
New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life
New Amortization = $14.5/2
New Amortization = $7.25 million
Journal Entry
Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million
Patent Credit - $7.25 million
