Research and development
• LO10–8
In 2018, 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.
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.

Problem 9
A contractor is considering the following three alternatives:
a. Purchase a new microcomputer system for $15,000. The system is expected to last
6 years with salvage value of $1,000.
b. Lease a new microcomputer system for $3,000 per year, payable in advance. The
system should last 6 years.
c. Purchase a used microcomputer system for $8,200. It is expected to last 3
with no salvage value.
Use a common-multiple-of-lives approach. If MARR of 8% is used, which
alternative should be selected using a discounted present worth analysis? If the
MARR is 12%, which alternate should be selected?

- 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).
