Milk bill format for Research and Development

hello and welcome to this session in which we will work a CPA simulation or an exercise that illustrates the concept of research and development expense it's very important for an accounting student or a CPA or CMA candidate to know how to treat how to handle research and development cost in other words well we're saying here research and development expense is at an expense or is it an asset when we incur those costs generally speaking research when you're trying to discover new things new processes new technology new medication something new guess what the outcome is uncertain you don't know whether you are going to achieve your objective or not since the outcome associated with the research and development cost is uncertain what are we going to do we are going to expense research and development because the definition of an asset is something that's going to provide future benefit research and development we would like for it to provide future benefits we would like it but we there's uncertainty similar to the concept of advertisement when you pay for advertisement when you pay for advertisement we expense advertisement why because we don't know the outcome the benefit of the advertisement that's the purpose of it so let's take a look a little bit more about this concept the expense of procured equipment that will be utilized for r d Venture this year and other non-related projects in future years the equipment will be depreciated using the straight line method over five years and we paid 250 000 so we purchase an equipment it's going to be used in the in an RND project this year and this equipment will be used for other non-related projects in other words non-resource project in future years the life of this asset is 250. what do we do well we have to be careful here generally speaking if we buy a piece of equipment an asset and it's used in the RND project we expense it as RND cost however this asset here what we are told it's going to be used in RND project this year and in future years it's going to be used it's going to be used in non-related project so this asset will have an alternative use alternative means it's not solely it's not only for the project itself well 250 000 divided by five equal to fifty thousand so we are going to do research and development fifty thousand dollar we are going to expense research and development of fifty thousand dollars so this is the expense for research and development only fifty thousand if if this was not used for non-related project so it's if we purchase this asset and it's only for the project it would have been the whole thing would have been expensed material used in r d project thirty thousand what do we do with this material before we proceed any further I have a public announcement

compensation paid the third party consultant 40 000 that are involved in r d project those are third party what do we do nevertheless third party or actually insiders if they are working on r d project we will expense their cost as RND expense associated with salaries those are insiders of individual engaged in RND same thing we're gonna treat them as r d expense indirect expenses that can be reasonably assigned and or attributed to r d project well those are expenses and we are assigned them in a reasonable way that's fine we are going to expense them as RND material purchased for upcoming RND project fifty thousand well the material let's assume chemicals or whatever we are buying capsules for the medication it's an RND project but we have not used them yet we have not consumed them yet we have not utilized them yet so what do we do under those circumstances under those circumstances since we have not purchased them yet so those are still assets means what it's inventory some sort of an inventory supplies or supplies but they are not used they are not expensed yet therefore we don't expense them in r d because there's a good possibility the whole project might be canceled so you're not going to expense them or there's a possibility that you might you don't like this material you would return them well you don't want to expense them yet therefore the total r d expense based on these computation if you are giving a simulation 50 plus 30 is 80 120 180 200 000 so the RND cost is two hundred thousand you have to be careful again the equipment only 50 000 will be expense as r n d what should you do now go to forehead lectures and look at additional mcqs true false additional exercises that's going to help you with this important concept of research
