Realizing that bacon toothpaste probably wasn’t the best invention, Mr. Bacon's business (Bacon Co.) developed a new product – bacon-scented sunscreen. Bacon Co. spent 6 months (January 2020 – Sept. 2020) and $10,000 developing the sunscreen. The product launched September 1, 2020, and initially it was a huge success. Bacon-scented sunscreen generated over $600,000 in sales in 2020. Sales tapered off quickly, and the sunscreen only generated sales of $100,000 in 2021. It is anticipated that there will be no bacon-scented sunscreen sales after 2021. What amount of R&E expenditures can Bacon Co. deduct in 2020 if Bacon Co. prefers to accelerate deductions as much as possible?
