At that time, BR had buildings with a twenty-year useful life, a book value of $600,000, and a fair market value of $696,000. On December 31, 2006, BR had buildings with a book value of $620,000 and a fair market value of $648,000. On that date, Janson had buildings with a book value of $2,000,000 and a fair market value of $2,160,000.
