Question
Exercise 10-26 (Algo) Research and development [LO10-8]
In 2021, 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
Engineering design work
Development of a prototype device
Acquisition of equipment
Testing and modification of the prototype
Legal and other fees for patent application on the new communication system
Legal fees for successful defense of the new patent
$2,700,000
820,000
440,000
74,000
340,000
54,000
34,000
$4,462,000
Total
The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2021 is $24,000.
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.
Required:
Prepare correcting entries that reflect the appropriate treatment of the expenditures. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event,
select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
