Accounting

Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2020, for $192,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2021, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $591,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida. On that date, the fair value of Seida's common stock was $1,970,000 in total. Seidas January 1, 2021, book value equaled $1,820,000, although land was undervalued by $139,000. Any additional excess fair value over Seida's book value was attributable to a trademark with an eight-year remaining life. During 2021, Seida reported income of $319,000 and declared and paid dividends of $100,000.
