    Dear Sir:

    I cannot choose between c and d, but I am pretty much in favor of d. Kindly assist.

    Thanks,

    According to IAS 38 intangible assets, what is the required accounting treatment for research expenditure and development expenditure?
    Consider that:
    1. Research
    2. Development
    a) 1 May be capitalized. 2 Must be capitalized in certain circumstances.
    b) 1 Must be written off. 2 Must be capitalized in certain circumstances.
    c) 1 May be capitalized. 2 Must always be capitalized.
    d) 1 Must be written off. 2 Must always be capitalized.

    The answer is (b) – research must be written off; development must be capitalised if certain criteria apply
