French Co has incurred the following research and development expenditure in the financial year ended 30 Nov 2009.
Research expenditure 40000
Development expenditure on project A 100000
Development expenditure on project B 32000
Both project A and B meet the criteria for capitalization in IAS 38 Intangible assets.
Project A started commercial production on 1 Dec 2008 and has a life of four years.
Project B commenced in October 2009 and has not yet started production.What is the total charge to the SOPL for research and development expenditure in y/e 30 Nov 2009?
– 40000
– 72000
– 65000
– 172000How to solve this question? this is the purchased mock question, sir! that’s why I don’t have an exact answer.

Research expenditure is always charged as an expense in the SOPL.
Development expenditure is capitalised and depreciated in the normal way once production has started.

TBH, I didn’t purchase the mock question, just found it on one of the study websites for free but they didn’t put the answers along with the question:)

However, rather than using questions that you have downloaded without answers, you should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers.
