When an intangible asset is acquired in an exchange transaction, initial recognition is at the

Fair value of the more clearly evident of the consideration given or the asset acquired.

Externally acquired intangibles other than goodwill are initially recorded

At acquisition costs plus and incidentals

Internally developed intangibles other than goodwill are initially recorded

At the amount of incindentals costs (legal fees)only. R&D costs are expensed as incurred.

Organization and start up costs are

Under Tax Code: Capitalized and amortized over a period of not less than 15 years


Financial Accounting Purposes: All expensed

Which of the following expenditures qualifies for asset capitalization?


A.Salaries of engineering staff developing a new product.


B.Costs of testing a prototype and modifying its design.


C.Cost of materials used in prototype testing.


D.Legal costs associated with obtaining a patent on a new product.

Answer (D) is correct.
Patents may be purchased or developed internally. The initial capitalized cost of a purchased patent is normally the fair value of the consideration given, that is, its purchase price plus incidental costs, such as registration and attorney’s fees. Internally developed patents are less likely to be capitalized because related R&D costs must be expensed when incurred. Thus, only relatively minor costs can be capitalized, for example, patent registration fees and legal fees.

On an intangible asset with indefinite life, impairment is

Carrying amount - Fair value.


The Undiscounted future inflows is not considered

The amortization period for a patent is

The shorter of the useful life of legal life remaining

Under IFRS, an entity that acquires an intangible asset may use the revaluation model for subsequent measurement only if


A.An active market exists for the intangible asset.


B.The intangible asset is a monetary asset.


C.The cost of the intangible asset can be measured reliably.


D.The useful life of the intangible asset can be reliably determined.

Answer (A) is correct.
An intangible asset is carried at cost minus any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, or at a revalued amount. The revaluation model is similar to that for items of PPE (initial recognition of an asset at cost). However, fair value must be determined based on an active market.

Successful litigation costs are capitalized/Expensed?


UnSuccessful litigation costs are capitalized/Expensed?

Successful litigation costs are capitalized


UnSuccessful litigation costs are Expensed

Which of the following costs of goodwill should be capitalized and amortized?



Maintaining Goodwill


Developing Goodwill

Goodwill arising from a business combination must be capitalized. However, amortization of goodwill is prohibited. Moreover, the cost of developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets (including goodwill) that (1) are not specifically identifiable, (2) have indeterminate useful lives, or (3) are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole are expensed as incurred

An entire acquired entity is sold. The goodwill remaining from the acquisition should be


A.Charged to retained earnings of the current period.


B.Charged to retained earnings of prior periods.


C.Expensed in the period sold.


D.Included in the carrying amount of the net assets sold.

Answer (D) is correct.
When a reporting unit is disposed of in its entirety, goodwill of that reporting unit (to the extent an impairment loss has not been recognized) is included in the carrying amount of the reporting unit to determine the gain or loss on disposal. Consequently, the unimpaired goodwill of each reporting unit of the acquired entity is included in the total carrying amount of that entity.

R&D expenses include

1. R&D performed under contract by others


2. Design, construction, and testing of prototypes


3. Testing in search for new products.

Which of the following is a research and development cost?


A.Research and development performed under contract for others.


B.Market research related to a major product for the company.


C.Development or improvement of techniques and processes.


D.Offshore oil exploration that is the primary activity of a company.

C.Development or improvement of techniques and processes.

Research is defined as planned search or critical investigation. It is aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that it will be useful in

(1) developing a new product, service, process, or technique or (2) in bringing about a significant improvement in an existing product, service, process, or technique.

During the current year, Lyle Co. incurred $204,000 of research and development costs in its laboratory to develop a patent that was granted on July 1. Legal fees and other costs associated with registration of the patent totaled $41,000. The estimated useful life of the patent is 10 years. What amount should Lyle capitalize for the patent on July 1?

R&D costs are required to be expensed as they are incurred. Legal fees and registration fees are excluded from the definition of R&D. Thus, the $41,000 in legal fees and other costs associated with the registration of the patent should be capitalized. The $204,000 in R&D costs should be expensed.

Equipment purchased for current and future projects



Equipment purchased for current projects only



Are these both R&D expense

Equipment purchased for current projects only is R&D expense



Equipment purchased for current and future projects should be capitalized and depreciated

Equipment purchased for current and future projects $100,000


Equipment purchased for current projects only


200,000


Research and development salaries for current project 400,000


Equipment has a 5-year life and is depreciated using the straight-line method. What amount should Brand record as depreciation for research and development projects at December 31?

20,000


R&D costs must be expensed as incurred. The costs of equipment acquired for a particular project and having no alternative future uses and salaries of personnel engaged in R&D are R&D costs. They are expensed when incurred. The costs of equipment acquired for R&D and having alternative future uses are not R&D costs. They are capitalized as tangible assets and depreciated accordingly. Thus, the recorded depreciation is $20,000 ($100,000 ÷ 5 years).

R&D costs must be expensed as incurred. But this rule does not apply to

(1) R&D activities conducted for others or (2) assets acquired in a business combination that are used in R&D activities

Laboratory research aimed at discovery of new knowledge $75,000


Design of tools, jigs, molds, and dies involving new technology 22,000


Quality control during commercial production, including routine testing 35,000


Equipment acquired 2 years ago, having an estimated useful life of 5 years with no salvage value, used in various R&D projects 150,000


Research and development services performed by Stone Co. for Metal, Inc. 23,000


Research and development services performed by Metal, Inc., for Clay Co. 32,000


What amount of research and development expenses should Metal report in its current-year income statement?

150,000 The depreciation on the equipment used in R&D projects is considered an R&D expense in the current period.

Software to be marketed should be _______ before technological feasibility, __________ after technological feasibility, and ____________ for costs incurred to prepare the product for sale

Expensed, Capitalized, inluded in inventory.

For software to be marketed annual amortization is the greater of

a) Total capitalized costs time the revenue ratio ( annual gross software revenue/ total projected gross revenue) or b) Total capitalized cost divided by the estimated economic life of the software (straightline)

Software to be used internally


Costs expensed are

1) costs incurred during prelim project stage and 2) Costs incurred for training and maintenance


Software to used internally


Costs capitalized are

1) costs incurred durring the application development stage (external direct costs, payroll associated withteh project, interest costs associated with the project).

Software to used internally


Annual amortization is determined on

a straight line basis

Direct response advertising costs should be capitalized if

a) The primary purpose is to generate sales from customers who specifically respond to the advertising and b) probable future benefits result.

Deficits accumulated during the development stage of an entity should be

Reported as a part of equity.

Financial reporting by a development stage enterprise differs from financial reporting for an established operating enterprise in regard to disclosures

Only. A development stage enterprise must present financial statements in conformity with GAAP together with certain additional information accumulated since the inception. Cumulative net losses must be disclosed in the equity section of the balance sheet, cumulative amounts of revenue and expense in the income statement, cumulative amounts of cash inflows and outflows in the statement of cash flows, and information about each issuance of stock in the statement of equity.

A statement of cash flows for a development stage entity

Is the same as that of an established operating entity and, in addition, shows cumulative amounts from the entity’s inception.

Research is defined as planned search or critical investigation. It is aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that it will be useful in



Development is defined as

(1) developing a new product, service, process, or technique or (2) in bringing about a significant improvement in an existing product, service, process, or technique.



a translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan or design for a new or improved product or process.
