Question 4 Innovator Ltd incurred expenditure researching and developing a cure for a common disease found in turnips. At the end of 2017 management determined that the research and development project was unlikely to succeed because trials of the prototype had been unsuccessful. During 2018 a breakthrough in agricultural science improved chances of the product succeeding and development resumed. The project was completed in 2018. At the end of 2018 costs incurred on the project were expected to be recoverable. Innovator expects that 15 per cent of the project revenue will be received in 2019, 25 per cent in 2020, 30 per cent in 2021, 20 per cent in 2022 and 10 per cent in 2023. After five years the product will be at the end of its useful life because the disease found in turnips will have been eradicated. Costs incurred were as follows: Development Research ($) 36,000 14,800 2017 2018 12,800 56,000 REQUIRED A. How much research expenditure and development expenditure should be recognised as an expense in 2017? B. How much research and development expenditure should be recognised as an expense in 2018? C. State how much expenditure should be carried forward (deferred) and reported in the statement of financial position at the end of 2017 and 2018. D. Prepare journal entries for the amortisation of deferred costs in 2019 and 2020, assuming that actual revenues are as expected.
