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 $ 2,450,000

Engineering design work 770,000

Development of a prototype device 390,000

Acquisition of equipment 69,000

Testing and modification of the prototype 290,000

Legal and other fees for patent application on the new communication system 49,000

Legal fees for successful defense of the new patent 29,000

Total $ 4,047,000

The equipment will be used on this and other research projects. Depreciation on the equipment for 2018 is $19,000. 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.
