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

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

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

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
