The software of Helios represents the depreciation cost of the development of an integrated business accounting package. It was completed at a capitalized cost of $2,400,000 and went on sale on April 1 20X7. Helios directors are depreciating the software on a straight line basis over an eight-year life (i.e. $300,000 per annum).
