Accounting Case Problem
I need the following Accounting Case Problem
Tony Computer Services Corporation trades 50% of its common stock for the rights to certain computer programs of the Janet Corporation. Janet previously expensed such costs of developing these computer programs. Tony concurrently sold the other 50% interest in its stock to the Jeannette Company for $1,000,000. Tony later acquired in another transaction, the rights to the Udder Computer Company's computer programs in exchange for stock valued at $1,500,000.

How should Tony's consolidated financial statement reflect the value of the expensed computer programs?
