On January 1, 2021, Ackerman Company acquires 80% of Seidel Company for $2,020,160 in cash consideration. The remaining 20 percent noncontrolling interest shares had an acquisition-date estimated fair value of $505,040. Seidel's acquisition-date total book value was $2,006,000. The fair value of Seidel's recorded assets and liabilities equaled their carrying amounts. However, Seidel had two unrecorded assets-a trademark with an indefinite life and estimated fair value of $289,100 and several customer relationships estimated to be worth $212,400 with four-year remaining lives. Any remaining acquisition-date fair value in the Seidel acquisition was considered goodwill. During 2021, Seidel reported \$202,960 net income and declared and paid dividends totaling $59,000. Also in 2021, Ackerman reported $413,000 net income, but neither declared nor paid dividends. a. What amount should Ackerman assign to the 20 percent noncontrolling interest of Seidel at the acquisition date? b.
