Answer 1

Answer:

$50,400

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of the deduction for the current year

First step is calculate the Research and experimental costs

Salary $250,000

Materials $90,000

Utilities $20,000

Depreciation $18,000

Research and experimental costs $378,000

($250,000+$90,000+$20,000+$18,000)

Now let determine the amount of the deduction for the current year

Current year deduction = $378,000/60 * 8

(Note that May-December will give us 8 months)

Current year deduction = $50,400

Therefore the amount of the deduction for the current year is $50,400
