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
