Exercise 10-26(Static) Research and development [LO10-8]
In 2024, Space Technology Company modified its model Z2 satellite to incorporate a new communication device. The company made the following expenditures:
Basic research to develop the technology $ 2,000,000
Engineering design work 680,000
Development of a prototype device 300,000
Acquisition of equipment 60,000
Testing and modification of the prototype 200,000
Legal and other fees for patent application on the new communication system 40,000
Legal fees for successful defense of the new patent 20,000
Total $ 3,300,000
The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2024 is $10,000.
During your year-end review of the accounts related to intangibles, you discover that the company has capitalized all of the above as costs of the patent. Management contends that the device simply represents an improvement of the existing communication system of the satellite and, therefore, should be capitalized.
