8) On January 1, 2020, Mehan, Incorporated purchased 15,000 shares of Cook Company for $150,000 giving Mehan a 15% ownership of Cook. The fair value of the 15% investment was the same as the carrying value of the investment when, on January 1, 2021, Mehan purchased an additional 25,000 shares (25%) of Cook for $300,000. This last purchase gave Mehan the ability to apply significant influence over Cook. The book value of Cook on January 1, 2020 was $1,000,000.
