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

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": There could be supplier interruptions due to political instability.

Explanation:

Single sourcing refers to a company deciding to choose one particular supplier -even if there are many options from where to select- because of a specific reason. The greater disadvantage of this situation is relying on one supplier for the manufacturing process which at a certain point could bring <em>instability </em>in front of different issues inherent or not to the supplier.
