A company incurred the follow costs related to research and development for the current year:



Technology development (salaries and supplies) $ 320,000


Engineering work performed by another company 150,000


Purchase of equipment 750,000


Testing new models 60,000


Legal fees for patent application 30,000



The equipment will be used in other projects. Depreciation in the current year is $90,000. For what amount should the company report research and development expense?



A: $500,000


B: $620,000


C: $650,000


D: $470,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

B: $620,000

Explanation:

The computation of amount that company should report research and development expense is shown below:-

Amount that company should report = Technology development (salaries and supplies) + Engineering work performed by another company + Testing new models + Depreciation in the current year

= $320,000 + $150,000 + $60,000 + $90,000

= $620,000

Therefore for computing the amount that company should report we simply applied the above formula and rest value we have not considered as they are not relevant to compute the amount that company should report

R&D expense that company report is $620,000.

Given that,

  • Technology development cost is $320,000.
  • Engineering work done by another company cost is $150,000.
  • Cost of testing new models is $60,000.
  • Cost of current year depreciation is $90,000

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

R&D expense = Technology development cost +Engineering work performed cost + cost of testing + Cost of depreciation

By putting the value, we get

= $320000+$150000+$60000+$90000

= $620000

So, R&D expense that company report is $620,000.
