Sunland Company from time to time embarks on a research program when a special project seems to offer possibilities. In 2019, the company expends $329,000 on a research project, but by the end of 2019 it is impossible to determine whether any benefit will be derived from it.

Part 1

The project is completed in 2020, and a successful patent is obtained. The R&D costs to complete the project are $119,000.
