Requirement-B
If three more employees leave on 31 Dec 2022, it will not affect the answer in part-A in any way. The amount of expenditure would remain same as the employees are leaving after the vesting period. Also, if it is assumed that these three employees were among 103 employees who did not exercise the option, the change will not affect the amount transferred to general reserve account too. |
As per the ruling given in AASB 138, the expenditure incurred on the in house developed intangible assets should be recognized in the statement of profit and loss account in the year of incurrence itself until development phase of the intangible being developed is started. This means that the expenditure after starting the development phase activities of the intangible being developed can be capitalized. However, this is also subject to certain conditions.
Based on the above ruling, the accounting treatment of the expenditure incurred on development of a motion- sensing system by StarK Ltd is given below:
All expenses incurred during the research phase would be charged to the statement of profit and loss account. The project started on 01 August 2017. The research phase of this project continued till May 2018 until company developed a prototype of the motion-sensing system. The expenditure incurred till May 2018 would be charged to profit and loss of the current year i.e. 2017-18. Thus, salary paid in September 2017 of 319000, cost of basic model production of 215000 incurred in November 2017, a $103000 incurred in January 2018 and another $93000 incurred in January 2018 would be charged to the profit and loss account. Further, a sum of $230000 incurred in April 2018 for incorporating new design would also be charged to the profit and loss account. So, a total of $960,000 would be charged to profit and loss account in 2017-18.
The expenses incurred in the development phase can be capitalized to meeting the asset recognition criteria as set out in the framework. The framework states that an item can be recognized as asset in books if future economic benefits are expected to flow from its use in future years. In May 2018, Stark Ltd had developed a prototype of the system which shows that the system would be successfully available to the company for future economic benefits. Thus, expenses of $112,000, $38,000, and $40,000 resulting in total of 190,000 to be capitalized as intangible assets and these expenses would be amortized on yearly basis.
