Research or development expenditure

Good day sir. Does the following expenditure relate to research or development expense? Why? $86,000 in attempting to convert seaweed into a cure for muscular injuries.

It is research expenditure because they are spending money trying to find a new product but there might never be a new product (they are attempting to find one but they might not be successful). Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well :-)
