$160,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What amount should be reported for patent amortization expense for 2018

First is to calculate the Amortization amount

Amortization=$600,000-[($600,000/10 years)x(4/3)

Amortization=$600,000-$80,000

Amortization=$520,000

Now let calculate amount that should be reported for patent amortization expense for 2018

2018 Patent amortization expense=($520,000+$120,000)/4years

2018 Patent amortization expense=($520,000+$120,000)/4years=90,000

2018 Patent amortization expense=$640,000/4years
