    Wat do we do to employee costs in refinement of products?
    Do we capitalize or expense it?

    If they improve the earning capacity of a tangible non-current asset, then capitalise.

    But your question is too vague – I could well give a different answer if the question had been more specific.

    And I don’t understand your expression “refinement of products”

    I would imagine that’s all you can do. What does the BPP answer suggest …. or are you testing me?
