-line basis since 2017, when it was acquired at a cost of $9 million at the beginning of that year.

Explanation:

The journal entry is as follows

Amortization expense Dr $2.5 million

         To Patent $2.5 million

(Being the amortization expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

The annual amortization is

= $9 million ÷ 9 years

= $1 million

So, the amortization for four years from 2017 to 2021 is $4 million

Now the unamortized value is

= $9 million - $4 million

= $5 million

And, the remaining life is 2 years (6 years - 4 years)

So, the amortization expense is

= $5 million ÷ 2 years

= $2.5 million

liubo4ka [24]

No, because the decision has already been made by the Board of Directors.

More about directors and decision making:

The board's decision-making process is divided into two stages: communication and decision-making. Each director decides whether to incur a cost to communicate his information to others during the communication stage. At the decision-making stage, all directors take actions (e.g., vote) based on their private information and information inferred from the discussion, and the board makes a collective decision. Directors may have conflicts of interest and thus prefer a decision that is not in the best interests of the shareholders. Directors may also have a preference for conformity and thus incur a loss if their actions differ from those of other directors, such as voting differently than the majority.
