Research and Development Costs
Research and Development Costs refer to the expenses incurred during the discovery and development of new products, processes, or services before the commencement of commercial production or use. These costs may include personnel-related expenses, materials, third-party fees, and other associated costs, and are typically expensed as incurred under most accounting principles, unless specific criteria are met for deferral and amortization.
