Claire Oneal · Answer 1

Total expenses 337,000

Explanation:

Compute the amount to be reported as research and development expense by Martinez on its income statement for 2019

Materials consumed 59,000

Consulting fees paid 100,000

Salaries cost 128,000

Indirect cost 50,000

Total expenses 337,000

The materials which aren't used are not expense of the period. they will become expense when used not at purchase date.

The depreciation on the equipment will not be part of the expenses as it will be capitalized as it can be used in future projects.
