7y ago#1They commenced development on 1 January, so by 1 October they will have spent 9 months x $1M.
sir but the asnwer is 3 million for 3 months? why is it? dont get it?
7y ago#3Because it is only on 1 October that the conditions for capitalisation as development costs are fulfilled (that there will be demand, they will have sufficient resources). So it is only the expenditure from then on that is capitalised.
