The amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Patent original cost = $3,000,000
Salvage value after 5 years = $500,000
Number of years to use before selling it = 5 years
Therefore, we have:
Annual amortization expense = (Patent original cost - Salvage value after 5 years) / Number of years to use before selling it = ($3,000,000 - $500,000) / 5 = $500,000
Therefore, the amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.
