Carter, Inc. manufactures pharmaceuticals. Over the past year, 2018, they purchased the following assets (assume all purchases were made in cash):
A patent for the drug, Axteel, which prevents the spread of prostate cancer. This drug was being developed by Axtra, Inc. and was in the final stages of approval by the Food and Drug Administration. Carter purchased this patent on February 1 for $5,000,000. They estimate the useful life to be 7 years and started production of Axteel on June 15, 2018 (after FDA approval).

A pharmaceutical homogenizer for an experimental drug, Terzanz, was purchased on March 15, 2018 for $1,500,000. This drug is being developed to cure Alzheimers. The patent for this drug has yet to be filed with the FDA and initial tests don’t show significant results. The homogenizer has no other alternative uses and Carter estimates its useful life at 5 years.

Carter purchased their net assets on June 1, 2018 for $23,000,000.
