    The percentage-of-revenue method is used since it produces the greater amortization of $180,0

    Explanation:

    Firstly, using the percentage of reve method we have;

    Percentage-of-revenue method

    $2,000,000. = 20% * $900,000

    Percentage of revenue = $180,000

    $10,000,000

    Secondly, using the straight line method, we have;

    Straight-line method

    =$900,000 * 1/5 * 9/12

    =$900,000 * 0.2*0.75

    = $135,000

    After using the both method, which is straight line method and percentage of revenue method, we discovered that the percentage of revenue method is used since it produces the greater amortization of $180,000
