Answer: The correct answer is : True

Explanation: the R&D assets are similar to regular plant assets, under GAAP, R&D costs are expensed unless the R&D assets have alternative future uses. If these assets do, indeed, have alternative future uses, they will be capitalized and depreciated. R&D expenses exclude any costs related to sales.
