During year 1, they bought the following assets and incurred the following start-up fees: Year 1 Assets Computers (5-year) Office equipment (7-year) Furniture (7-year) Start-up costs Purchase Date October 30, Year 1 October 30, Year 1 October 30, Year 1 October 30, Year 1 Basis $15,600 10,000 4,200 18,080 In April of year 2, they decided to purchase a customer list from a company providing virtually the same services, started by fellow information systems students preparing to graduate. The customer list cost $11,080, and the sale was completed on April 30. During their summer break, Dallin and Michael passed on internship opportunities in an attempt to really grow their business into something they could do full time after graduation. In the summer, they purchased a small van (for transportation, not considered a luxury auto) and a pinball machine (to help attract new employees). They bought the van on June 15, Year 2, for $21,000 and spent $3,600 getting it ready to put into service. The pinball machine cost $4,600 and was placed in service on July 1, Year 2.
