Admin expenses ($ 35,000)
Net profit $ 40,000
* In absence of information it is assumed that research and development costs of $200,000 meet defination of expense as per accounting standard (IAS 38).
2. Briefly explain why Allstar's income statement has no line for cost of goods sold.

Answer:
C. What the program will ultimately cost the federal government
Explanation:
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 was an attempt to make improvements or amendments to the Social Security Act. It radically changed the playing field for private plans participating in the Medicare program by substantially raising monthly payment rates in an effort to stabilize the market and reverse the decline in benefit generosity. It also provided for voluntary prescription drugs under the medicare program. However, the utilization and cost of the program skyrocketed as soon as the funding source was established. It has remained unknown what the program will ultimately cost the federal government, no wonder the current administration under Trump wants to turn it upside down.
