Answer:

500,000 per year

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount of share-based compensation expense should the company report for the year ended December 31, Year 2

Year 2 Compensation expense=(100,000*$15)/ 3 years

Year 2 Compensation expense=$1,500,000 / 3 years

Year 2 Compensation expense= 500,000 per year

Therefore the amount of share-based compensation expense that the company should report for the year ended December 31, Year 2 is 500,000 per year
