On January 1, 2018, Jordan Inc. acquired 30% of Nico Corp. Jordan used the equity method to account for the investment. On January 1, 2019, Jordan sold two-thirds of its investment in Nico. It no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of Nico. How should Jordan account for this change

Use rerospective valuation and then begin to use Fair value valuation of the investment account from 2019 and beyond

Explanation:

First, it should be noted that Jordan will make use of different methods to account for change in its account.
