Wildhorse Company from time to time embarks on a research program when a special project seems to offer possibilities. In 2019, the company expends $325,000 on a research project, but by the end of 2019 it is impossible to determine whether any benefit will be derived from it.
(a) What account should be charged for the $325,000, and how should it be shown in the financial
statements?
(b) The project is completed in 2020, and a successful patent is obtained. The R&D costs to complete
the project are $110,000. The administrative and legal expenses incurred in obtaining patent number
472-1001-84 in 2020 total $16,000. The patent has an expected useful life of 5 years. Record
these costs in journal entry form. Also, record patent amortization (full year) in 2020.
(c) In 2021, the company successfully defends the patent in extended litigation at a cost of $47,200,
thereby extending the patent life to December 31, 2028. What is the proper way to account for
this cost? Also, record patent amortization (full year) in 2021.
(d) Additional engineering and consulting costs incurred in 2021 required to advance the design of
a product to the manufacturing stage total $60,000. These costs enhance the design of the product
considerably. Discuss the proper accounting treatment for this cost.

This problem has been solved! see the answerwhich of the following statements is correct? the consumer price index is a measure of the overall level of prices, whereas the gdp deflator is not a measure of the overall level of prices. if, in the year 2011, the consumer price index has a value of 123.50, then the inflation rate for 2011 must be 23.50 percent. compared to the gdp deflator, the consumer price index is the more common gauge of inflation. the consumer price index and the gdp deflator reflect the goods and services bought by consumers equally well.

With q7 assume the sweet company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with machine-hours as the allocation base.and for q 10,11,13,and 14,assume that the company use department predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation bade in both departements.7. assume that sweeten company used cost-plus pricing (and a markup percentage of 80% of total manufacturing cost) to establish selling prices for all of its jobs. what selling price would the company have established for jobs p and q? what are the selling prices for both jobs when stated on a per unit basis assuming 20 units were produced for job p and 30 units were produced for job q?

5. understanding marginal and average tax rates consider the economy of citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. assume that oranges are priced at $1 each. the government has devised the following tax plans: plan a • consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 50%. • consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. plan b • consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 15%. • consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 60%. use the plan a and plan b tax schemes to complete the following table by deriving the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 300 oranges, 1,200 oranges, and 3,000 oranges, respectively. consumption level plan a plan b (quantity of oranges) marginal tax rate average tax rate marginal tax rate average tax rate (percent) (percent) (percent) (percent) 300 1,200 3,000 complete the following table by indicating whether each plan is a progressive tax system, a proportional tax system, or a regressive tax system. progressive proportional regressive plan a plan b
