Johnson, an investor in Acme Co., asked Smith, CPA, for advice on the propriety of Acme's financial reporting for two of its investments. Smith obtained the following information related to the investments from Acme's December 31, Year 9 financial statements:

Acme has 20% ownership interest in Kern Co., represented by 200,000 shares of outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, Year 9 for $600,000. This investment gives Acme significant influence over Kern. Acme did not elect the fair value option for this investment.

Acme has 20% ownership interest in Wand Co., represented by 20,000 shares of outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, Year 9 for $300,000. This investment does not give Acme significant influence over Wand. Acme did not elect the fair value option for this investment.
