twelve lakh and twenty thosand
All items mentioned belong those R&D except legal fees but we have to note that the R&D has benifit of the equipment only one year and the depreciation expense for this year is $20,000 (100,000/5 years )so the R&D expense =20,000 +200,000 +400,000 +600,000 =1,220,000 .
If the equipment purchased for those R&D only it will be expense but if it will be used for future it will be treated as fixed asset .
Legal fees capitalized to the cost of patent and amortized within its useful life .Answer C is the right option .
The correct answer is : C - $1,220,000
Equipment purchased for current and future projects Depreciation =100,000 /5 =20,000
Legal fees to obtain patent :
to be amortized to overhead = Cost of Goods Manufacturing.
R& D Expense =20,000 +200,000 +400,000 +600,000
Equipment purchased for current and future projects $100,000 and it has life of5 years ........for end of the period the amount should be considered.
Now which amount100,000/5 = $20,000 should be considered.
Amount should be $10,00,000 because equipment purchase would be an asset to the company whereas Material cost for prototype & Salaries for the same are purely for R & D. Patent fees cannot be w/off it will be added to the asset which would be generated after the R & D process
Ansar Should recognize $1,000,000/- as a research & development expense
