Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, our concern when calculating amount of research and development costs charged to Blossom corp. for 2021 should be the period cost. This means costs that are incurred in the period under review. I.e 2021.
= Testing in search for process alternative + Cost of marketing research + Modification of formulation of a process + Consulting fees
= $390,000 + $260,000 + $570,000 + $485,000
= $1,705,000
Therefore, Blossom's 2021 income statement , research and development expense should be $1,705,000.
