Alexandria Company started a research and development project on a new product on January 1, 2021. Total cost incurred before reaching technological feasibility amounted to P4,000,000 while development cost after reaching technological feasibility amounted to P5,000,000 before year-end. Prior to commercial production, the entity paid legal and registration fees amounting to P1,000,000 in filing for a patent on the new product on July 1, 2021. Early in January 2022, an additional amount of P2,000,000 was incurred to develop the project to full manufacturing stage. The patent was approved in early January 2022 and valid for 20 years. However, the entity expected technological advancements will render the new product virtually obsolete by December 31, 2026. The entity decided to account separately any capitalized development cost. 1. What amount should be capitalized as cost of patent? a. 1,000,000 b. 6,000,000 c. 7,000,000 d. 5,000,000 2. What amount should be capitalized as development cost? a. 5,000,000 b. 7,000,000 c. d. 6,000,000 3.

Kemper Company signed a long-term noncancelable purchase commitment with a major supplier to purchase raw materials in 2021 at a cost of $1,000,000. At December 31, 2020, the raw materials to be purchased have a market value of $950,000. Prepare any necessary December 31, 2020, entry.
Provide the necessary accounting entries: A patent right is acquired July 1,2021, for P250,000; while it has a legal life of 15 years, due to rapidly changing technology, management estimates a useful life of only five years. "Netting" method, straight-line amortization will be used. At January 1, 2022, management is uncertain that the process can actually be made economically feasible, and decides to write down the patent to an estimated market value of P75,000. Amortization will be taken over three years from that point. On January 1, 2024, having perfected the related production process, the asset is now appraised at a depreciated replacement cost of P300,000. Furthermore, the estimated useful life is now believed to be six more years.
