Fizer Pharmaceutical paid $85 million on January 2, 2018, for 5 million shares of Carne Cosmetics common stock. The investment represents a 20% interest in the net assets of Carne and gave Fizer the ability to exercise significant influence over Carnes operations. Fizer received dividends of $3 per share on December 21, 2018, and Carne reported net income of $35 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The fair value of Carnes common stock at December 31, 2018, was $35.50 per share. The book value of Carne's net assets was $210 million. The fair value of Carne's depreciable assets exceeded their book value by $50 million. These assets had an average remaining useful life of ten years.
