Research and development
• LO10–8
In 2018, Starsearch Corporation began work on three research and development projects. One of the projects was completed and commercial production of the developed product began in December. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. All of the following 2016 expenditures were included in the R&D expense account:
| Salaries and wages for: | |
| Lab research | $ 300,000 |
| Design and construction of preproduction prototype | 160,000 |
| Quality control during commercial production | 20,000 |
| Materials and supplies consumed for: | |
| Lab research | 60,000 |
| Construction of preproduction prototype | 30,000 |
| Purchase of equipment | 600,000 |
| Patent filing and legal fees for completed project | 40,000 |
| Payments to others for research | 120,000 |
| Total | $1,330,000 |
$200,000 of equipment was purchased solely for use in one of the projects. After the project is completed, the equipment will be abandoned. The remaining $400,000 in equipment will be used on future R&D projects. The useful life of equipment is five years. Assume that all of the equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year.

Exercise 12-16 b-c
Blossom Company from time to time embarks on a research program when a special project seems to offer possibilities. In 2019, the company expends $325,500 on a research project, but by the end of 2019 it is impossible to determine whether any benefit will be derived from it.
The project is completed in 2020, and a successful patent is obtained. The R&D costs to complete the project are $115,500. The administrative and legal expenses incurred in obtaining patent number 472-1001-84 in 2020 total $17,500. The patent has an expected useful life of 5 years.

- Brief Exercise 10-7 (Algo) Patent; research and development [LO10-1, 10-8] On March 17, Advanced Technologies purchased a patent related to laser surgery techniques. The purchase price of the patent is $1,230,000. The patent is expected to benefit the company for the next five years. The company had the following additional costs: $23,000 in legal fees associated with the purchase and filing of the patent, $38,000 to advertise its new laser surgery techniques, and $48,000 to train employees. None of these additional costs were included in the purchase price or paid to the seller. Now assume that instead of purchasing the patent, Advanced Technologies spent $1,230,000 to develop the patent internally, consisting of personnel ($815,000), equipment ($309,000), and materials ($106,000). All additional costs were incurred for the same amount. What is the recorded cost of the patent? > Answer is complete but not entirely correct.

The following interviews helped the controller collect the necessary information for the capital expenditures budget: Director of Facilities: A construction contract was signed in late 2015 for the construction of a new factory building at a contract cost of 10,000,000. The construction is scheduled to begin in 2016 and be completed in 2017. Vice President of Manufacturing: Once the new factory building is finished, we plan to purchase 1 .5 million in equipment in late 2017. I expect that an additional 200,000 will be needed early in the following year (2018) to test and install the equipment before we can begin production. If sales continue to grow, I expect we'll need to invest another 1,000,000 in equipment in 2019. Chief Operating Officer: We have really been growing lately. I wouldn't be surprised if we need to expand the size of our new factory building in 2019 by at least 35%. Fortunately, we expect inflation to have minimal impact on construction costs over the next four years. Additionally, I would expect the cost of the expansion to be proportional to the size of the expansion. Director of Information Systems: We need to upgrade our information systems to wireless network technology. It doesn't make sense to do this until after the new factory building is completed and producing product. During 2018, once the factory is up and running, we should equip the whole facility with wireless technology. I think it would cost us 800,000 today to install the technology. However, prices have been dropping by 25% per year, so it should be less expensive at a later date. Chief Financial Officer: I am excited about our long-term prospects. My only short-term concern is managing our cash flow while we expend the 4,000,000 of construction costs on the portion of the new factory building scheduled to be completed in 2016. Use this interview information to prepare a capital expenditures budget for Omicron Inc. for the years 2016-2019.arrow_forward
- 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 Total The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2021 is $30,000. 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.

The sprayer's base price is $1,140,000, and it would cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $547,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $381,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.
