Project Accounting for Research and Development
Question
Tirgaran Ltd has been involved in a project to develop an engine that runs on extracts from sugar cane. It started the project in February 2010. Between the starting date and 30 June 2010, the end of the reporting period for the company, Tirgaran Ltd spent $254,000 on the project. At 30 June 2010, there was no indication that the project would be commercially feasible, although the company had made significant progress and was sufficiently sure of future success that it was prepared to outlay more funds on the project.
After spending a further $120,000 during July and August, the company had built a prototype that appeared to be successful. The prototype was demonstrated to a number of engineering companies during September, and several of these companies expressed interest in the further development of the engine. Convinced that it now had a product that it would be able to sell, Tirgaran Ltd spent a further $65,000 during October adjusting for the problems that the engineering firms had pointed out. On 1 November, Tirgaran Ltd applied for a patent on the engine, incurring legal and administrative costs of $35,000. The patent had an expected useful life of 5 years, but was renewable for a further 5 years upon application.
Between November and December 2010, Tirgaran Ltd spent an additional amount of $82,000 on engineering and consulting costs to develop the project such that the engine was at manufacturing stage. This resulted in changes in the overall design of the engine, and costs of $5,000 were incurred to add minor changes to the patent authority.
On 1 January 2011, Tirgaran invited tenders for the manufacture of the engine for commercial sale.
Required:
Discuss how Tirgaran Ltd should account for these costs. Provide journal entries with an explanation of why these are the appropriate entries.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I work in a consultancy firm from where I planned to do my MBA in correspondence from a reputed University of New Zealand. Since I chose marketing as my main stream, I got plenty of help on all my assignments from the experts from New Zealand, through HwA.

I was having a lot of difficulty managing all the assignments that we needed to complete for my post graduate program in Financial Accounting. When I needed to write an accounting assignment essay on cash flow statement I really did not have the time to do all the research and then write the assignment. With the New Zealand accounting assignment expert at HwA I did not have to worry one bit for my assignment writing and scored an A in it.
Oliver Taylor Student
When I saw the prices of TheReliableTutor law assignment help for New Zealand students I was very skeptical of the quality. But I still gave them a try and lets just say that the quality has been even better than what I had expected. Since the legal assignment experts are practicing professionals from New Zealand they know exactly what is happening in the New Zealand legal world at the moment and help incorporate those into your law assignment and law homework.

I needed someone with the knowledge of the subject of Atomic Theory to write my research paper and not just produce an essay with generic copy-paste material gotten from the internet. Even though I was a bit apprehensive to use an online service for writing my atomic theory research paper I must say TheReliableTutor with their panel of excellent chemistry experts put my fears to ease. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.
Edward Dempsey Student
Most of my classmates where very relaxed when it was time to deliver our Research Proposal. They don’t perceive it to be important to invest time in selecting the topic. The Research Proposal writer at HwA helped me to understand the importance of choosing simpler and doable topics rather than creating challenges later during the time of conducting the research. Needless to say that I was the only one in the class to get A+ in the Research Proposal and A in the actual Research Paper.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
