Point 1: Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2017, for $186,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2018, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $661,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida.
