Answer:

B. Credit to the fair value adjustment for $6000

Step-by-step explanation:

December 31 (year 2)

Fair value adjustment account balance = $10,000 (Debit)

December 31 (year 3)

Fair value adjustment account balance = $154,000 - $150,000 =$4,000 (Debit)

As you can see in year 2 there were only $10,000 (debit) in fair value adjustment account but in year 3 the value dropped down to 4,000 debit which leads us to the journal entry of $6,000 Credit in fair value adjustment account balance
